Announcement
4. A player who receives a third penalty (major or minor, excluding misconduct, bench or equipment penalties) in a game will receive at that time a 10-minute misconduct penalty. If that player receives a fourth penalty in the game, he will receive a game misconduct. The scorer will inform the referee and both captains when any player receives his third and fourth penalties. If the referee determines that an opposing player goaded a player into taking a third or fourth penalty, the opposing player can be assessed an unsportsmanlike minor, major or game misconduct, depending upon the severity of the goading.
5. A team that receives a tenth, eleventh or twelfth penalty (major or minor, excluding misconduct, bench or equipment penalties) in a game will be penalized with a penalty shot in addition to the normal penalty, and if a team receives a thirteenth penalty it will forfeit the game. Any player eligible to be on the ice on the non-offending team may take the penalty shot. For purposes of the above sentence, if the tenth or later penalty is a coincidental minor, it is not counted. The scorer will inform the referee and both captains when a team receives its eighth, ninth, tenth and later penalties.
