(24) Under what circumstances does a player emerge from the penalty box after a penalty shot is scored?
(25) Prior to the start of a game, the roster shows 18 players and one goalkeeper dressed. However, another player shows up and they end up with 19 skaters and 1 goalkeeper. This oversight is not caught until the second intermission. As the scorekeeper, I informed the officials and they asked that a player be removed from the bench and a minor penalty was assessed. Does it matter what player is removed? Was this the proper procedure?
(26) A player is serving a misconduct penalty in his travel team game. He's scheduled to play in a high school JV game on the other rink while he's still in the box. Must the player finish his penalty before leaving?
(27) A player is sent to the box with a minor and a misconduct...his 3rd & 4th penalties of the game. On the way, he disputes the call and is given an additional minor penalty. So he now has his fifth penalty (and the accompanying game misconduct). How many players does the penalized team have to put in the box?
(28) A skater on Team A and the goalie on Team B are assessed coincidental minors at a stoppage of play. The Team B coach says that since nothing goes up on the clock, no substitute player needs to go in the box for the goalie. What's your opinion?
