TABLE OF CONTENTS For the purpose of this rule, a “television commercial break” is deemed an “official time-out” and not charged to either Team. Any Player designated by the Coach or the Coach will indicate to the Referee that their Team is exercising its option. The “time-out” must be requested by the team before the Referee has completed the players change procedure, before the Referee lowers his hand and points to the respecting face-off location. The Referee will report the “time-out” to the Game Timekeeper who shall be responsible for signaling the termination of the “time-out”. No “time-out” shall be granted following a “face-off” violation. No “time-out” shall be granted to the defensive Team following an icing, following the Goalkeeper causing a stoppage of play from a shoot-in from beyond the center red line, or when a defending Player accidentally dislodges the net causing a stoppage of play. No “time-out” shall be granted when a “Penalty Shot” has been awarded to either Team by the Referee, once instructions have been given to the Player taking the shot and the Goalkeeper defending the shot. No “time-out” will be granted during the shootout. No warm-up involving pucks on the ice shall be permitted for a Goalkeeper or replacement Goalkeeper during a “time-out”. If, after one warning, this continues, the Referee shall assess a “Delay of Game” penalty to the offending Team. » For more information refer to IIHF Sport Regulations.
