timelydew Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I know that it is a penalty shot if you conceal/cover/fall on the puck while it's in the crease ("No defending player, except the goalkeeper, will be permitted to fall on the puck, hold the puck, pick up the puck, or gather the puck into the body or hands when the puck is within the goal crease. For infringement of this rule, play shall immediately be stopped and a Penalty shot shall be ordered against the offending team), but my question is, how does it work when the puck is partially in the crease and partially outside of it? Assume a small part of the puck is on the red line that makes up the border of the crease and that most of it is on the white ice outside. In other words, must the ENTIRE puck be within the confines of the crease, or can just part of it be there for a penalty shot to occur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
