It all depends on the penalty. In minor hockey If a player receives a 5 minute major, they are automatically ejected from the game, and someone else will serve that 5 minutes. You can get a M21 which is a 10 minute penalty for harassment of the official. So a major penalty could be 5 minutes or it could be 10. -David

the number of minutes, both total for the game and time on the ice at a stretch, varies for each player in each game.

the coach may desire for example that his forwards do shifts of, say, 45 seconds. when about that much time has elapsed, the player skates to the his team's bench and goes off the ice, ending the shift.

but it has to fit with the action on the ice so actual time on-ice varies. players finish the play and look for an opportunity to change lines without giving an opportunity to the opponents.

some players average about 20 minutes per game, meaning they're on-ice for 1/3 of the total game time. for those who don't play as much, only a few minutes per game average.

hope that's what you wanted to know.

A powerplay is often awarded when a penalty is given to the opposing team. When a player makes an illegal play, such as hooking or cross-checking, he is given a penalty. The offending player is then sent to the penalty box, usually two minutes for a minor penalty and five minutes for a major penalty. The team of the offending player is then shorthanded-they are only allowed to have four players (minus the goalie) on the ice. The time that the offending player spends in the penalty box is a powerplay for the other team.
