How can you tell in Hockey if it's a penalty or a penalty shot?

When a skater breaks towards the net with the puck, and is interferred with: 1) It is a penalty shot if he has more than one full stride on the defenceman who interfers with him. 2) If he has less then a full stride then it is just a penalty. 3) Of corse the Ref makes that decission, so it mainly depends on what the Ref sees (and as we know, they miss alot. lol) Nov 05 02, 1:16 AM

If the referee points to center ice after a penalty, then he's indicating a penalty shot. If he does something else, it's just a penalty. The referee looks for the length away from the breakaway player and the defender. He also awards a penalty shot if someone other than the goalie covers the puck inside the crease. Jul 03 06, 6:52 PM
