Assess no penalty because the player along the boards was facing the player who checked him.
-
Assess a penalty for boarding.

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:

A player from Team A is rushing the puck into the attacking zone when a player from Team B tries to cut her off. The Team B player dives and as she slides along the ice, and her shoulder makes contact with the skates of the Team A player, knocking her to the ice. In this instance, the referee would:
-
Call no penalty as a sliding player cannot be penalized for being unable to control his/her body while sliding across the ice.
-
Call no penalty as it was the sliding player's shoulder that made contact with the other player's skates.
-
Call a minor penalty for tripping.
Correct Answer
A. Call a minor penalty for tripping.Explanation
Anytime a player uses "her stick, knee, hand, foot, arm or elbow in such a manner or slides along the ice directly in the path of the puck, causing the puck carrier to trip and lose control of the puck, a penalty shall be called." If the tripped player is injured as a result of the trip, a major penalty and game misconduct would be assessed.Rate this question:
