305 - Dangerous Equipment

A player receives a misconduct penalty for playing with a glove that has the palm deliberately removed. After the penalty expires, they participate in the play again, with the same glove. What penalty shall be assessed for a second violation of this rule?

A game misconduct penalty in lieu of the 2nd misconduct penalty is to be assessed. Rule Reference 305(b).

A player cannot “buy” their way into a game with illegal equipment by serving a misconduct penalty. The equipment must be corrected before they can legally participate again

634 - Slashing

A Team A player slashes at an opponent but only contacts Team B player’s stick, knocking it out of their hand. What penalty, if any, should be assessed?

A minor or a major plus game misconduct penalty for slashing must be assessed. Rule References 634(a and b).


The opponent’s stick is considered to be an extension of the player, so any slashing action directed at the stick must also be penalized
