If a hockey goalie plays the puck outside of the trapezoid and knocks the puck over the glass..?

Question

would that be considered a double minor penalty?

Answer 1

It would be very hard for a goalie to put the puck out of play from the trapezoid.

- he would have to do it cross ice
- he would get called as soon as stepped inside the trapezoid get to the puck

So, in my opinion
- he'd get the two minute as soon as he stepped in the trapezoid
- he'd get two more minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct for touching the puck period AFTER the whistle blew whether it cleared the glass or not.

I could be wrong here.

Answer 2

As soon as the puck is touched by the goalie outside of the trapezoid, play stops and a penalty is called. If he tries to clear the puck in one motion and it goes over the boards, it is not considered to be a penalty. If it is done long after the whistle is blown out of frustration, then a second penalty will be called for delay of game. If the puck is touched inside of the trapezoid, it is not a penalty. If it is touched inside the trapezoid and brought out, it is not a penalty.

Answer 3

if the goalie played the puck outside the trapezoid above the goal line and sent it out of play it would be a single minor penalty. if the goalie played the puck outside the trapezoid below the goal line play would stop immediately and thus only 1 penalty regardless of where the puck ended up. great question.

Answer 4

I wondered about a similar play in which the goaltender touched the puck outside of the trapezoid on a delayed penalty, but Bob answered my question

Answer 5

I would agree with Bob, as soon as he touches the puck in the trapezoid the first penalty would take place, anything after that should not count. Interesting question.

Answer 6

Yes, it would be a double minor for two delay of games or one delay of game for touching the puck and an unsportsmanlike conduct for shooting the puck out. All depends on what the referee decides, but yes it's a double minor.

Answer 7

I think it depends on the interpretation of the rules. It really could be as many as three separate minors. You could have 2 delay of games (outside the trapezoid, over the glass) and unsportsmanlike conduct. Hey LITY, has that happened to one player before, a triple minor?

Answer 8

Good question. I would say no because as soon he touches the puck in the restricted zone, the whistle blows the play dead, therefore the delay of the game will be deemed to never have happened.

Answer 9

Bob has it right.. The play is whistled dead so any action like you described is null and void.. unless it was well after the whistle, then it's an unsportsmanlike anyway.. so Bob gets a thumbs up and I get two points..
