Advantage:
|
All penalties attract advantage. If the team being infringed against has possession or immediately regains possession, play will continue until the offending team regains possession. As soon as that happens the whistle is blown and play stopped. The referee raises his/her right hand to signify a penalty has occurred. Advantage never expires.

|
Offside:
|
Do not cross over the centre line into the attacking area before the ball does. If the ball goes back across the centre line, all attacking players must go back across the centre line to the defensive end before attacking again. The referee raises his/her left arm to signify a team is offside. The referee shall declare a team clear when all players are back onside.
Penalty: Face off at off side face off point.
|
| |
|
Icing:
|
Automatic icing will occur when the ball is shot from the defensive side of the centre red line and the ball crosses the opposite goal line without interference from the opposing team or passing through the goal crease. Icing will be waived away if the opposing team does not make a reasonable effort at intercepting the ball before it crosses the goal line. Also note any team with a player in the penalty box (ie shorthanded) is exempt from an icing call.
Penalty: Face off at icing face off point.
