Penalties shall be actual playing time and shall be divided into the
following classes:
- minor/bench minor Penalties
- major Penalties
- misconduct Penalties
- match Penalties
- penalty shot
Where coincident penalties are imposed on players of both teams the penalized
players of the visiting team shall take their positions on
the penalty bench first in the place designated for visiting players, or
where there is no
special designation, then on the bench farthest from the gate.
(Note) When play is not actually in progress and an offense is
committed by any player or Team Official, the same penalty shall apply as
though play were actually in progress.
