A penalty in Ice Hockey consists of losing one player who has to sit in the penalty box for a specified period of time (usually either 2 minutes or 5 minutes) during which his team must play one man short. The penalty is killed if the team prevents its opponent from scoring during this period of time.

No, a penalty shot is called when a player has a clear breakway and is obstructed in any illegal way. When a referee calls a penalty shot, there is no choice, the player who was obstructed must take the shot.

Is there 3 on 3 in NHL hockey?

A team can be forced to play with as few as 3 skaters (not including the goalie) if two players take penalties that overlap. If a third player takes a penalty he waits in the penalty box until one penalty expires to begin serving his time, thus a team never has fewer than 3 skaters on the ice. If two teams are in that situation, they would play 3 on 3.

Can you take the penalty after the touchdown on the PAT or is it automatically on the kick off?

I'm not totally positive about this but I believe that if the penalty is on the offense, the penalty is enforced on the PAT. But if its a defensive penalty then the penalty is enforced on the kick off. Hopefully that answered your question for you- Mike
