If a player deliberately dislodges an opponent's helmet?

Question

USA HOCKEY RULES - If a player deliberately dislodges an opponent's helmet during play, that player must be ejected from the game?
True or False

Answer 1

FALSE
HIT HIM AGAIN

Answer 2

well i never really seen anybody deliberately dislodged an opponent's helmet, only if the two players where fighting each other. but as allot of players don't put there helmets on the proper way so that's why when you see a player get hit and his helmet goes flying off its cause his helmet is to loose.

if you can clearly see that a player does it deliberately then its true, but it's not something that happen allot.



GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Answer 3

True, It is considered intent to injure and the player can be given a 5 minute major (at the ref's discretion) and an automatic game misconduct. But the ref must determine intent before handing out the penalty which is why it is seldom called above junior or college level.

Answer 4

Maybe in US college or junior, but not in pro or Canadian amateur. I've never seen it called.

Answer 5

true or false........i think there has to be indisputable evidence the player did it. So i guess true., but its very rare.
