Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which official has the final decision in matters of disputed goals?

Answer: Referee

The referee may consult with the other officials, but the final call is his.
2. A player is allowed to direct the puck to a teammate with an open hand (a "hand pass") if:

Answer: Both players are in their defensive zone

Rule 59(e)
3. If a delayed penalty is signaled by the referee and the non-offending team subsequently ices the puck, where does the face off take place?

Answer: In the neutral zone near the defending blue line of the team icing the puck

Normally, the face-off after an icing infraction takes place at the end face-off spot of the team who iced the puck. However, since a penalty is being called on the other team the face-off cannot occur in that team's attacking zone. Rule 65(a) Note 1.
4. In which of the following situations would a goal NOT be allowed?

Answer: When the puck is deflected directly into the net off an official

Generally an official's body is considered "in play", but a goal cannot be scored a result of the puck being deflected directly into the net off an official. Rules 57 and 82.
5. A goalkeeper is not allowed to participate in the play in any manner where?

Answer: Beyond the center red line

If he does, a minor penalty shall be imposed. Rule 31(i).
6. The 12-inch wide blue lines are considered part of what zone?

Answer: Whatever zone the puck is in

In other words, the determining edge of the blue line for the purposes of offsides violations is the edge further from the zone in which the puck is located. Rule 74(a).
7. For a penalty to be called for slashing, the offending players stick must make contact with the opponent's body.

Answer: False

Slashing is defined as "the act of swinging a player's stick at an opponent, whether contact is made or not". Rule 85.
8. If a player prevents an opponent who has dropped his stick or any other piece of equipment from regaining possession of it, what is the proper penalty?

Answer: Interference

Rule 67(e).
9. A team has two players serving penalties. A third player is subsequently called for a penalty. What happens?

Answer: The player goes to the penalty box, a substitute takes his place on the ice, and his penalty time does not begin until one of the other penalties expires

This is the Delayed Penalty rule (rule 32). The penalized player must go to the penalty box immediately, but since a team cannot have its on-ice numerical strength reduced by more than two, another player can take the ice. Even though the player is in the box, his time does not begin until one of the other penalties expires.

At that time, the third penalty time begins and the player who's time has expired has to wait until a stoppage of play before leaving the penalty box (otherwise a "too many men on the ice" situation would occur).
10. The signal given for a misconduct penalty is:

Answer: Both hands on hips

Rule 28.
