Rule 207. Goaltender penalties / overview IIHF 1. A goaltender who fouls an attacking skater will be assessed a minor penalty. 2. A goaltender never serves a penalty or penalties assessed to him or his team which requires him to sit in the penalty bo10. 3. Any additional minor penalties which are assessed to a goaltender at the same stoppage of play must be served by only one skater on his team who was on the ice at the time game action was stopped to assess the penalties (provided that skater did not incur penalties himself). 4. A skater who serves a penalty for a goaltender must have been on the ice at the time game action was stopped to assess the penalty. 5. For a first misconduct penalty to a goaltender, he continues to play. This penalty must be served by a skater who was on the ice at the time game action was stopped (provided that skater did not incur penalties himself). 6. A goaltender who is assessed a second misconduct penalty in a game (which results in an automatic game-misconduct penalty) must leave the game and be replaced by the backup goaltender. 7. For major, game misconduct, and match penalties, the goaltender himself is ejected. 8. In case of major or match penalties to a goaltender, the five-minute penalty must be served by a skater on his team who was on the ice at the time play was stopped (provided that skater did not incur penalties himself). 9. In any instance when a goaltender is ejected from a game, the backup goaltender must be the first option to replace the ejected goaltender before a skater can dress as a goaltender. 10. When a goaltender is assessed more than one minor or major penalty at the same stoppage of play, one skater of his team designated by the coach through the captain who was on the ice at the time the play was stopped must serve all of these penalties (provided that skater did not incur penalties himself). 11. If a goaltender is assessed both a minor penalty and misconduct penalty at the same time, one skater who was on the ice at the time game action was stopped must serve the minor penalty and a second skater who was on the ice at the time game action was stopped must serve the full 12 minutes. Both skaters must be designated by the coach through the captain. Game situation 1: A goaltender has been assessed a misconduct penalty. While a substitute skater is in the penalty box serving the penalty, the goaltender is assessed a second misconduct. As a result, the goaltender is ejected from the game because the second misconduct penalty becomes an automatic game misconduct. The skater serving the misconduct can leave the penalty bo10. Game situation 2: If a goaltender on the players’ bench is assessed a penalty at any time, a skater who was on the ice at the time the play was stopped to assess the penalty must serve the penalty. The coach or team official must designate this skater through the captain.
