Best Answer

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.

Icing isn't a penalty, but if you ice the puck the face off will be in your end giving the other team better scoring position.

What sports have penalties?

If you are in the penalty box, you are playing hockey. Hockey is the only major U.S sport that does not have fouls. When a foul or fight occurs in hockey, you are subjected to the penalty box for a certain amount of time. If you are in a fight in hockey you are allowed to continue to fight until at least one player has hit the ice then it must stop, and once that is over with both players must go to the penalty box.
