you get one player off the ice usually for about two minutes during the penalty
Penalty Kill. During a penalty one team is on the power play (PP) and the other on the penalty kill (PK)
A power play is when the opposing team has a penalty. a penalty is when you have a penalty and are trying to kill it off.
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.
In ice hockey, a major penalty prevents a player from finishing the game. A major penalty lasts for five minutes, during which the player must serve time in the penalty box and cannot return to the ice until the penalty is over. If a player receives a second major penalty in the same game, they are ejected and cannot return to play. Additionally, a game misconduct penalty also leads to an ejection from the game.
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.
A penalty kill is when a team receives a penalty and has to play with a one to two man disadvantage. The penalty kill is over when the oposing team scores or the time received expires.

Players go to the penalty box in hockey when they commit a foul or infraction, such as tripping, slashing, or fighting. This punishment typically results in the player serving a designated amount of time, during which their team must play short-handed, giving the opposing team a power play opportunity. The penalty box serves to enforce rules and maintain fair play within the game.
A minor power play is when the other team that you are playing has a minor penalty with is 2 min long.
