In hockey, a scratch occurs when a player illegally uses their hand or high-sticks the puck. The rules state that a player cannot intentionally direct the puck into the goal with their hand or stick above the crossbar. If a player commits a scratch, the opposing team is awarded a faceoff in the offending team's defensive zone.
