TABLE OF CONTENTS IIHF OFFICIAL RULE BOOK 2023/24 – SECTION 04 48 TYPES OF PENALTIES Immediate substitutions shall be made for an “Equal Number of Major Penalties”, or “Coincidental Penalties of Equal Duration” including a Major Penalty to each Team penalized, and the penalties of the Players for which substitutions have been made shall not be taken into account for the purpose of the Delayed Penalty. ➔ Rule 26 – Delayed Penalties. In such situations, if one or both Players have received a Game Misconduct in addition to their Major Penalties, no substitutes are required to take their places in the Penalty Boxes. 19.3. LAST FIVE MINUTES AND OVERTIME During the last five (5) minutes of regulation time, or at any time in Overtime, when a Minor Penalty (or Double-minor Penalty) is assessed to one Player of Team A, and a Major Penalty is assessed to one Player of Team B at the same stoppage of play, the three (3)-minute (or one (1)-minute) differential shall be served immediately as a Major Penalty. This is also applicable when “Coincidental Penalties” are negated, leaving the aforementioned examples. The Team must place the penalized Player or replacement Player in the Penalty Box immediately. The differential will be recorded on the penalty clock as a three (3) minute or a one (1) minute penalty (as applicable) and served in the same manner as a Major Penalty. This rule shall be applied regardless as to the on-ice strength of the two Teams at the time the above outlined penalties are assessed. 19.4. APPLYING THE COINCIDENTAL PENALTY RULE When multiple penalties are assessed to both Teams at the same stoppage of play, the following rules are to be utilized by the Referees to determine the on-ice strength for both Teams: (I) Cancel as many Major Penalties as possible; (II) Cancel as many Minor, Bench Minor and or Double-minor Penalties as possible. ➔ For more information refer to Appendix IV – Tables Overview – Table 15. RULE 20 MAJOR PENALTIES 20.1. MAJOR PENALTY A Major Penalty shall be imposed on any Player who commits a physical foul and who recklessly endangers the fouled Player in a way that, at the discretion of the Referee, such Player would not be sufficiently sanctioned by imposing a Minor or Double-minor Penalty. Such assessment of reckless endangerment shall be based on the severity of the infraction, severity of the contact, the degree of violence and the general reprehensibility involved. For the first (1st) Major Penalty in any one game, the offender, except the Goalkeeper, shall be ruled off the ice for five (5) minutes during which time no substitute shall be permitted. When one Player receives a Major Penalty and a Minor Penalty at the same time, the Major Penalty shall be served first by the penalized Player (or substitute for the Goalkeeper), except under ➔ Rule 19.2 – Coincidental Major Penalties are in effect, in which case the Minor Penalty will be recorded and served first. 04 SECTION · TYPES OF PENALTIES
