[edit] Icing

Linesman will have discretion to wave off apparent icing infractions if they are deemed the result of an attempted pass. As of 2006-07 season. - darrennie 03:25, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Home Team Advantage

The Home Team also gets to change their lines last. And I believe the opposition's center must set for the face-off first - darrennie 03:30, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Penalties

Penalties are not limited to players, the coach or any other team member on the bench ie. assistant coaches, trainers can also be given penalties (bench minors/majors/misconduct) and in most cases but not exclusively are served by players who were on the ice at the time of the infraction. Also in extreme cases they may be ejected from the game.

When a penalty is signaled by the referee (arm in air) play is not blown dead until the offending team gets control/posession of the puck (tips do not count) so the "other" team may pull their goalie, and play with an extra attacker on the ice. If a goal is scored the penalty is not served. - darrennie 03:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Offside (sort of)

The goalie may not play the puck while he/she is past center ice. - darrennie 04:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
