A hockey penalty occurs if a player breaks a rule AND if the breaking of that rule is punishable by either a minor, major, misconduct, match misconduct, or match penalty. Not all rule infractions are punishable by a penalty. A few that are not: hand pass, icing, off-sides, and high-sticking the puck.
