what are the rules on hockey 1 on 1 fights?

Question

when do refs allow 1 on 1 fights, and when do they say its enough?

Answer 1

In the NHL when two ppl go toe to toe the linesmen make sure both want to scrap. If one is hesitant they break it up only to ensure the health and well being of both guys. If one player drops the gloves before the other noticeably thats an instigator penalty which is a added on two minutes. When they are in the middle of a scrap if one player goes down thats usually the end unless he has a rep as a fighter they will allow him to get back up and try his hands out again. But any time ofg pummeling and the fight is stopped. The fighters and refs both respect eachother big time and know the tricks of the trade.

Answer 2

The Linesmen are responsible for breaking up the fight. If two guys are going toe to toe, they usually let it go until someone stalls.. then the linesmen break it up. The reason they do this, is becaue the Linesmen don't want to get pummelled either (I've learned that through trial and error beleive me).

The rules - for most hockey here in Canada at the minor level both guys get a game misconduct and a five minute major served by someone else. Game play still goes on 5 on 5.

In the NHL it's a bit different with the instigator rule. Instigator rule basically states if you antagonize and start the fight, you get the game or a 10 minute misconduct AND a 5 minute misconduct (whereas your team is down by 1 for 5 mins, but your'e in the box for 15), and the other guy simply has a 5 minute penatly. Since penalties don't wash out in the NHL, it is 4 on 4 for 5 mins.

Answer 3

in line with the NHL rulebook, fisticuffs (i.e. battling) is against the guidelines. that's a 5-minute substantial penalty, with further consequences for intentionally beginning a combat (instigator), and extra self-discipline for doing this interior the final 5 minutes of a sport. sparkling as day. With that being stated, if 2 adult adult males % to combat (and flow against the guidelines) the officers will wait till they are in a position to competently separate the two warring parties so as that they are going to enable them to combat. you're an professional; stepping into between 2 adult adult males who weigh 220-250+ lbs to chop up them while they're throwing haymakers is volatile at ideal. besides the fact that, if a participant faucets out or is in a susceptible place the officers will intervene.

Answer 4

they say enough when they arent going to get beatin down for getting between two beasts

i think the "RULES" are governed by the players not the refs. Square off no sucker punching and all that bullshit.

Answer 5

There is one rule: Figure out which guy has courage and which one is a punk, and root for the former. Also known as the Tie Domi Rule (a true punk).

Answer 6

the refs mandate when a fight can occur, but the refs get their *** chewed for not keeping the game under control.

Answer 7

Both the players' jerseys have to stay on or else they get an extra penalty for not tying it down and when one person loses his footing and falls the other has to stop punching him

Answer 8

They call it a fight when one players goes down or both get tired but until then its go time.

Answer 9

really you can only punch and once one player or both go down to the ice the fight is over.

Answer 10

its up to the officials if they will let them go at it. any player who steps in is peanlized, minimum hes out, and maybe his team plays short anywhere from 2 min to 5 min. lol :)
