Penalty (ice hockey) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1825 words) |
 | A penalty in ice hockey is a punishment for inappropriate behavior, or the inappropriate behavior itself (whether called or not). |

| Hockey players that opt to inflict a penalty despite the punishment, do so in order to degrade the opposing team's morale or momentum, or boost their own. |
