A player from Team A skates to the boards to retrieve a puck. Once there, he gains control of the puck, and pivots with his back to the boards. After he pivots, a player from Team B arrives and checks him violently into the boards. He coasts into the check, does not make contact with the other player’s head, and does not leave his feet. The referee can:
-
Assess no penalty as the player with the puck took no steps to protect himself.
-
Assess no penalty because the player along the boards was facing the player who checked him.
-
Assess a penalty for boarding.
Correct Answer
A. Assess a penalty for boarding.Explanation
According to the Hockey Canada rule book, the referee can call a boarding penalty any time a player "body checks, cross checks, elbows, charges or trips an opponent in such a manner that causes the opponent to be thrown violently into the boards. Taking too many steps to build up speed, or leaving your feet to make a hit along the boards, are aggravating factors that may require the assessment of a major or match penalty. They are not necessary for a minor boarding penalty to be assessed."Rate this question:
