Penalties are called when a player commits a foul (high-sticking, tripping, holding, hooking, roughing, interference, slashing, too many men, holding/walking with the ball). The player shall be sent off the rink for 2 min, or until the opposing team scores a goal.
A penalty shot will be awarded if:
