PENALTY SIGNALS Boarding
Hooking
Body-Checking
Holding
If a player is checked into the boards in a violent manner, then the ref may call a boarding penalty. A two minute penalty will be assessed for boarding, and in situations where the offense is more serious (when a player is vulnerable, etc.), a 5-minute major penalty and game ejection may be called.
Body-checking is not allowed until the bantam level. Delivering a body-check in the lower divisions will result in a two-minute penalty being assessed.
Charging
If a player takes more than two steps or strides, or jumps into an opponent when body-checking, a charging infraction may be called. The referee signals by rotating clenched fists around each other in front of the chest. Since body-checking isn’t allowed until the bantam level, you will rarely see this called in the first few years.
Cross-Checking
When a player uses the shaft of his stick, held between the hands, to check an opponent at any height. The referee signals with a forward and backward motion of the arms with both fists clenched and about a foot apart. (This signal imitates the action of a cross-check.)
Delayed Calling of Penalty
Refree extends arm and points to penalized player.
This is called when a player slows down an opponent by hooking his stick on any part of the opponent’s body or stick. The referee signals this call with a tugging motion with both arms.
This is called when a player grabs an opponent’s body or stick with the hands. The referee motions this call by grabbing either wrist with the opposite hand in front of his body.
Interference
This penalty is called when a player impedes the progress of an opponent who doesn’t have the puck. The referee signals this call by crossing his arms in front of his chest.
Misconduct
This penalty may be called when a player exhibits extreme and inappropriate behavior toward another player or a game official. Depending on the severity of the offense, the player may be given a 10-minute Miscondcut or game misconduct penalty. It is also a game misconduct when a player checks another player from behind. With the exception of checking from behind, the penalized team does not play shorthanded.
Roughing
This penalty may be called when a player uses his arms or fists to hit or punch another player. The signal for this call is a clenched fist and arm extended out to the front or side of the body.
Elbowing
This is when a player is checking an opponent with his elbow. The referee signals by tapping either elbow with the opposite hand.
High-Sticking
This occurs when checking an opponent with the stick above the normal height of the shoulders, wither purposely or accidentally. A more severe penalty may be called for flagrant high-sticking fouls, including ejection from the game. The referee signals this call by clenching both fists and mimicking a player holding a stick above their shoulders.
Slashing
This penalty is called when a player deliberately hits an opponent with his stick. The signal for this call is a chopping motion with the edge of one hand across the opposite forearm.
Tripping
This penalty may be called when a player uses his stick or any body part to trip the puck carrier. If the p;ayer touches the puck prior to contact with the player, there is usually no penalty called. The referee signals this call by striking his leg with either hand below the knee (usually bending down to do so), keeping both skates on the ice.
