For what offences can one receives a penalty in hockey?

Answer 1

The majority of Ice Hockey around the world is played under the umbrella of three organizations, Hockey Canada, USA Hockey, and the International Ice Hockey Federation, each with their own set of rules.

Hockey Canada and USA Hockey rulebooks are used in most amateur hockey in North America, and the IIHF rulebook is used in both amateur and professional leagues.

　

The National Hockey League has its own rulebook, from which the rulebooks of most North American professional leagues are derived.

United States high school leagues use the National Federation of State High School Associations rulebook, and varsity college hockey is governed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association's rules.
