Signaling of penalties

• The number of the player is signaled with one hand; holding the fingers up signals 0 through 5, while holding the hand sideways adds 5 to the number indicated.
• Official says and signals the foul committed.
• A “T” formed with the arms indicates a 30-second technical foul.
• Holding 1, 2, or 3 fingers overhead indicates the number of minutes for a personal foul.
• Some penalties are non-releasable, indicated by clapping hands over the head.
Timing of penalties
• When the penalty is signaled in, write down the player’s jersey color and number, the length of the penalty, the time the player should be released, and an “NR” if the penalty is non-releasable.
• Penalty time starts when the whistle blows to restart play.
• If a penalty expires during a faceoff, do not release the player until officials call possession (unless wing area was left vacant for faceoff).
• If team A scores a goal, all releasable penalties for team B are released.
• If team A scores a goal, penalties for team A are not released.
• Non-releasable penalties always serve the full penalty time no matter how many goals are scored.
• If a player has multiple penalties, non-releasable penalty time is always served first, regardless of the order of the fouls.
• Unexpired penalty time at the end of a period carries over into the next period.
• Keep all players serving penalties at the rear of the penalty area until they are within 5 seconds of being released. At that time, a substitute may take the place of the penalized player (who must go to the bench).
• In the second half, if one team leads by 10 or more goals the clock does not stop except for team timeouts, official timeouts, and injuries.
