Do You Even Know The Basic Rules Of Hockey?

Depending on the length of a penalty, you better make the most of your player advantage.

Power play

What is a team awarded after an opposing team commits a penalty?

Three forwards, two defenders, and a goalie...but you can mix and match if you are feeling spicy. I want 6-on-6 goalie games!

How many players are on the ice per team?

Now, you sit there and think about what you did!

The penalty box

What is the name of the place a player must stay after a penalty?

Short a player, the penalty kill unit has a lot of pressure to survive the penalty without giving up a goal.

Penalty kill

What is it called when a team successfully prevents a goal while down one or more players?

Save the puck tossing to fans for the pre-skate. Don't slow down the action!

Delay of game

What penalty is it when you purposely launch the puck out of play or do anything to intentionally stall the game?

It might come to fisticuffs if you try to get too aggressive with your stick.

High stick

What is it when a player's stick makes contact with the opponent above their shoulders?

They help teams stay onside when possessing the puck.

Attacking zone

The blue lines separate the ice into three zones. Which one is NOT one of those zones?

It all depends where play stopped on the ice to determine where the faceoff will take place.

Faceoff circles

**What are the four red circles on the ice (or four red dots, depending on the level of hockey)?**

It's a bit of a trick question. That red line runs through the goal, so although it is used to determine icing, it is still called the goal line.

Goal line

**What is the line that runs through horizontally with both goals?**

Two minutes for a standard penalty and five minutes for fighting.

**How many minutes for a standard penalty?**

That's the beauty of hockey. It's a fast-paced, always moving game.

No limit

**How many line changes are allowed per period?**

They are rare, but fun to watch. Just don't leave the puck behind.

Penalty shot

What is awarded if a puck-possessing player is fouled with nothing but the goalie in front of them?

Good try, but hopefully you learned some rules for playoff season!

Just wide of the net!

GOAL!!!!!!

Your hockey quiz Hall of Fame induction will be legendary!

PERFECTION!
