When a penalty is called on a goalie, a teammate who is on the ice at the time of the penalty serves the goalies' time in the penalty box.

MAJOR PENALTY: (Five minutes)

MISCONDUCT: (Ten minutes)

PENALTY SHOT:
A free shot, unopposed except for the goalie. The shot is awarded to a player if he is illegally impeded from behind on a breakaway, or if any player on the defending team throws his stick at a player trying to score. The team which commits the offense is not penalized beyond the penalty shot.

DELAYED PENALTY:
Whistle is delayed until the penalized team regains possession of the puck and is signaled by the referee with his arm raised overhead.
