A total of ten minutes shall be charged against the player for a Gross Misconduct.

  7. Playing Rule 4.10 (b) Awarded Goals A goal will be awarded to the attacking team when the opposing team has taken their goaltender off the ice and when a shot has been taken (control no longer applies) and a defending player picks up the puck with his hand from the goal crease or intentionally falls on or covers the puck in the crease.

  8. Playing Rule 4.11 (a) Goaltender Penalties  2009-10 Rule: No goaltender shall be sent to the penalty bench for an infraction which incurs a Minor, Major or Misconduct penalty. Instead, such a penalty shall be served by any player of her team who was on the ice at the time of the infraction. Such player shall be designated by the Manager or Coach of the penalized team through the Captain. Amendment: Add the following as a separate paragraph under Rule 4.11(a): “Unless the penalty being served is a time penalty, any player serving a penalty on behalf of a goaltender shall leave the penalty box if the offending goaltender is subsequently ejected from the game.”

  9. Playing Rule 4.12 (c) Delayed Penalties  Amendment: When the penalties to the player or players have expired and the penalized team is entitled to more than four players on the ice, the Penalty Timekeeper shall permit the penalized players to return to the ice in the order of expiry of their penalties. When the penalties of two players from the same team expire at the same time and that team is entitled to only one additional player on the ice the players shall return to the ice in the order in which their penalties were reported.”

  10. Playing Rule 4.13 (b) Calling of Penalties  2009-10 Rule: If the Referee signals a Minor or Bench Minor penalty(ies) against a team that is shorthanded by reason of one or more Minor or Bench Minor penalties, and a goal is scored by the non-offending side before the whistle is blown, the goal shall be allowed and the player who is serving the first Minor or Bench Minor penalty will return to the ice, while the signalled penalty(ies) shall be assessed and served in the normal manner. Amendment: Add…..If the Referee signals a delayed penalty calling for a Penalty Shot against a team that is shorthanded and a goal is scored by the non-offending team before play is stopped, the goal shall be allowed. If the infraction associated with the Penalty Shot would normally call for a Minor or Major or Match penalty, then a Minor / Major / Match penalty shall be assessed in lieu of the Penalty Shot.”

  11. Playing Rule 5.2 (r) Referee and Linesmen Linesmen shall check the goal, netting, and the ice in and around the goaltender’s crease before the start of each period.

  12. Playing Rule 7.3 (f) Interference A Minor penalty for interference shall be assessed to a goaltender that deliberately piles snow inside his goal crease at any time or is observed by the Referee to have deliberately left or placed an object in his defending zone at or near the net before proceeding to the player’s bench.   A Penalty Shot shall be awarded to the non-offending team if, in the Referee’s opinion, such object or obstacle actually prevents a goal while the offending team’s goaltender is legally on the ice. If a Penalty Shot is awarded under this rule, the Minor penalty shall not be assessed.   A goal shall be awarded if, in the opinion of the Referee, such object or obstacle actually prevents a goal after the offending goaltender has been legally substituted by another player.

  13. Playing Rule 10.7 Kicking the Puck Rule 10.7(a) Kicking the puck shall be permitted in all zones. Rule 10.7(b) No goal can be scored when an attacking player kicks another object which, in turn, propels the puck directly or indirectly into the goal.

  14. Rule Numbering / Indexing Changes

  15. Casebook Situation Changes

  16. 2010-2011 Rule Emphasis

  17. 2010-2012 Playing Rule Housekeeping Changes

  18. Playing Rule 2.6 (g) Injured Players Amendment: Where there is suspicion that a player has sustained serious injury, any on-ice official may stop play immediately

  19. Playing Rule 3.3 (a) Sticks Amendment: Where there is suspicion that a player has sustained serious injury, any on-ice official may stop play immediately Rationale: The prior version of Rule 2.6(g) implied that only the Referee can stop play when a player is suspected of sustaining a serious injury. This is not the case. Rule 5.3(a)(7) permits linesmen to stop play if a player has sustained a serious injury.

  20. Playing Rule 4.2 (c) Minor Penalties  2009-10 Rule: When a player is assessed both a Minor and Major penalty at the same time, the Major penalty shall be served first. The same principle will apply when a player is assessed both a Minor and Match penalty at the same time. The five-minute time penalty which accompanies the Match penalty is to be served first. See Rule 4.12 (e). Amendment: Relocate Rule 4.2(c) (Minor Penalties) to and include it as a separate section under Rule 4.1 (Penalties)

  21. Playing Rule 4.6 (b) Game Ejection/Game Misconduct Penalties  2009-10 Rule: A player or team official incurring a Game Misconduct penalty shall be ordered to the dressing room for the remainder of the game and shall be reported to the President for further action. A substitute for the penalized player shall be permitted immediately. Amendment: Move the last sentence of Rule 4.6(c) [“A total of ten minutes shall be charged in the records against the penalized player for a Game Misconduct.”] to the end of Rule 4.6(b).

  22. Playing Rule 4.7 (a) Gross Misconduct Penalties  2009-10 Rule: Any player or team official incurring a Gross Misconduct penalty shall be ordered to the dressing room for the remainder of the game and shall be reported to the President for further action. A substitute for the penalized player shall be permitted immediately. Amendment: Move the last sentence of Rule 4.7(c) [“A total of ten minutes shall be charged in the records against the penalized player for a Gross Misconduct”] to the end of Rule 4.7(a).

  23. Playing Rule 4.7 (b) Gross Misconduct Penalties Amendment: A Gross Misconduct penalty shall be assessed any player or team official who conducts herself in such a manner as to make a travesty of the game. Rationale: To specify that the rule applies to players and team officials, and to adopt a more grammatically correct sentence structure.

  24. Playing Rule 4.9 (b) Penalty Shot Note : No player other than the goaltender is permitted to tend goal during a Penalty Shot. Amendment: Amend Note 1 to Rule 4.9(b) to read:   No player other than a goaltender is permitted to tend goal during a Penalty Shot. Rationale: This single word change is required to more accurately reflect the actual intent of the rule and to clearly permit the back-up goaltender to tend goal during a Penalty Shot.

  25. Playing Rule 4.13 (b) Penalty Shot Amendment: Delete “Note 1” to Rule 4.13(b) and label “Note 2” as “Note”.

  26. Playing Rule 5.2 (d) Referee and Linesmen 2009-10 Rule: The Referee shall assess all penalties as prescribed by the rules for infractions thereof. The Linesmen shall stop the play for any infraction within their jurisdiction Amendment: Delete the second sentence of Rule 5.2(d): “…The Linesmen shall stop the play for any infraction within their jurisdiction.” Rationale: The second sentence of Rule 5.2(d) is redundant since Rule 5.3(a) provides essentially the same direction but with greater clarity. Also, the sentence in question is a somewhat out of place as a part of Rule 5.2(d).

  27. Playing Rule 5.2 (r) Referee and Linesmen  Amendment: Divide Rule 5.2(r) into three separate rules under 5.2 as follows:  1. Retain the first three sentences of Rule 5.2(r) as Rule 5.2(r),  2. Label the fourth and fifth sentences of Rule 5.2(r) [“The official method of refereeing Hockey Canada hockey games is with a Referee and two Linesmen. However, Branches are authorized to use two Referees for games under their jurisdiction.”] as Rule 5.2(s), and Label the last sentence of Rule 5.2(r) [“When reference is made to the Linesmen und Rules 5.2 and 5.3 (all clauses), the duties of the Linesmen will be carried out by both Referees”].

  28. Playing Rule 5.3 (d) Referee and Linesmen  Amendment: 1. Amend Rule 5.3(d) to list the numbered infractions in numerical order.  2. Eliminate the reference to Rule 2.6(e) and Unsustained Measurement.

  29. Playing Rule 6.7 (a) Fighting and Roughing Amendment: Make Rules 6.7(a)(1) through(a)(5) sections unto themselves under rule 6.7 (i.e., 6.7(b) through (f), and renumber the other sections of the rule as necessary.

  30. Playing Rule 6.7 (a) Fighting and Roughing Amendment: A Major penalty and a Game Misconduct penalty shall be assessed any player that fights with an opposing player. Rationale: The current rule is misleading. A Major penalty and a Game Misconduct penalty for fighting can only be assessed to a player for fighting with another player. Fights with team officials, the officials or spectators always result in penalties other than a Major and a Game Misconduct.

  31. Playing Rule 6.7 (a) Fighting and Roughing Amendment: Replace Rule 6.7(a)(1) with two distinct entries, as follows: 6.7(a)(1) A Minor penalty for instigator shall be assessed any player identified by the Referee as being the instigator of a fight. 6.7(a)(2) A Minor penalty for aggressor shall be assessed any player identified by the Referee as being the aggressor in a fight.  Renumber current Rule 6.7(a)(2) thru (a)(5) as necessary.

  32. Playing Rule 6.7 (a) Fighting and Roughing  Rationale: The objective of this change is to state the instigator and aggressor rules in a more precise and distinct manner.  Instigator and aggressor are distinctly different concepts; each is defined in the Glossary. The current single-sentence rule entry is, if read literally, misleading and has caused some to infer (incorrectly) that if one is considered the Instigator and is also the Aggressor, then one should receive a single Minor only. This is not the case; this amendment makes it clear that a Minor penalty may result if one is the instigator and another Minor penalty may result if one is also the aggressor.

  33. Playing Rule 9.5 (d) Leaving the Penalty Bench Amendment: Amend Rule 9.5(d) to read: A Minor penalty shall be assessed any player that leaves the penalty bench or returns to the ice before the expiration of his penalty. However, in the case of a player returning to the ice prematurely due to an error by the Penalty Timekeeper, no penalty shall be assessed and the player must only serve the time remaining in his penalty at the moment he returned to the ice.

  34. Playing Rule 10.15 (e) Start of Game and Periods Amendment: Relocate Rule 10.15(e) to, and include it as a separate section under Rule 9.5. Rationale: Rule 10.15(e) addresses the requirement for players to remain on their players’ or penalty bench at the END of each period. It does not relate to the theme of Rule 10.15 (START of Game or Periods) in any way. This very specific rule is difficult to find because of its illogical location in the rule book.  Relocating Rule 10.15(e) to Rule 9.5 (Leaving the Players’ or Penalty Bench) places the rule in its most logical location which makes it easier to find and improves the overall comprehensiveness of Rule 9.5.

  35. Playing Rule 6.1 (f) & (g) Stick Fouls/Attempt to Injure Amendment: Move Rule 6.1(f) - Butt-Ending and Rule 6.1(g) - Spearing to Section 8 – Stick Fouls. Designate the first as Rule 8.1 – Butt-Ending and the second as Rule 8.5 – Spearing. Amend Rule 6.1(h) to include Butt-Ending and Spearing thus: “A match penalty shall be assessed any player who deliberately attempts to or deliberately injures an opponent with a slash, high stick, cross-check, butt-end or spear.” Designate current Rule 8.1 – Cross-Checking as Rule 8.2.   Designate current Rule 8.2 – High Sticks as Rule 8.3.   Designate current Rule 8.3 – Slashing as Rule 8.4

  36. Examples of Coincident Major/Match Penalties Chart Amendment: Amend Example 8 to show the first Minor/Bench Minor to Player X as the penalty stroked out/cancelled and the second Minor/Bench Minor to Player X circled as the time penalty. Rationale: To present a more technically correct solution - One that reflects the exact method used to solve coincident penalty situations. (Old book was incorrect).

  37. Other Changes…. QUESTION: Can a player use the ‘spin-o-rama’ move on a penalty shot or in a shoot-out? ANSWER: Yes, the spin-o-rama type move where the player completes a 360o turn as he approaches the goal, shall be permitted as this involves continuous motion. QUESTION: Can a player use a ‘lacrosse style’ of move? ANSWER: Yes providing the puck on the stick blade not be raised or carried above the height of the shoulders, and if it is, the shot shall be stopped immediately by the Referee. When the puck is released from the stick, the puck cannot be above the height of the cross bar.

  38. Other Changes…. TIME-OUT GUIDELINES 1. Each team may have one thirty second time-out per game. This includes any overtime. 2. Both teams may take their time-out during the same stoppage of play. 3. All players including goaltenders may go to their respective benches during the timeout. 4. The Referee must advise the Timekeeper of the time-out and the Timekeeper will indicate when the time-out is over. 5. The Referee should allow the calling of a time-out at a stoppage of play, at any time up to the point of dropping the puck for a face-off. 6. Subsequent to the time-out, the line change procedure shall recommence.
