(S20) "Where a number of punches have been thrown and/or the officials have difficulty separating the two players, then a Major and a Game Misconduct shall be assessed." Hockey Canada Rule 6.7 Fighting and Roughing (a) A Major penalty and a Game Misconduct penalty shall be assessed any player that fights with an opposing player. (b) A player who is identified by the Referee as being the instigator, or the aggressor in a fight shall be assessed a Minor penalty, in addition to any other penalties he may incur. (1) A Minor penalty for instigator shall be assessed any player identified by the Referee as being the instigator of a fight. (2) A Minor penalty for aggressor shall be assessed any player identified by the Referee as being the aggressor in a fight. (3) Officials are to assess the additional minor to an instigator in situations where only one player is assessed a Major penalty and a Game Misconduct for fighting. (c) A Minor penalty shall be assessed any player who, having been struck, shall retaliate with a blow or attempted blow. Should such a player continue to retaliate, he shall be assessed a Major penalty and a Game Misconduct penalty. (d) Any player who does note retaliate after being struck will not be assessed a penalty under this section, but may be assessed a penalty for a violation of other rules. (e) Any player wearing a ring or rings, tape or any other material on his hands, who becomes involved in a fight and who uses such to gain an advantage or to inflict punishment and/or injury, shall be assessed a Match penalty in addition to any other penalties he may incur. (f) When a fight occurs, all other players except the goaltender shall immediately retire to the front of their respective benches or to a neutral zone (should the fight occur in front of a players' bench) designated by the Referee and remain there until the Referee calls them back to resume play. The goaltenders must stay in their goal creases or proceed to a neutral zone designated by the Referee. Any player(s) refusing to do so after being instructed by the Referee shall be assessed a Misconduct penalty, plus any other penalty he (they) may incur. (g) A Major penalty and a Game Misconduct penalty shall be assessed any player who is involved in fighting with another player off the playing surface. (h) Any player joining in a fight, acting as a peacemaker or taking part in another fight during the same stoppage of play, will be assessed a Game Misconduct penalty plus any other penalty the offender incurs under the rules. (i) A Gross Misconduct penalty shall be assessed any player or team official who fights with a team official, joins in a fight involving a team official or intervenes as a peacemaker in a fight involving a team official. This does not eliminate the possibility of further penalties being assessed for such an infraction. (j) Branches are authorized, at the discretion of their members, to assess further penalties in the case of Rule 6.7 (a), for all players in all divisions of hockey. (k) A Minor penalty or, at the discretion of the Referee, a Major penalty and a Game Misconduct penalty shall be assessed to any player who is guilty of unnecessary rough play. (l) A Minor penalty or, at the discretion of the Referee, a Major and a Game Misconduct penalty shall be assessed any player who, in the Referee's judgement, makes deliberate physical contact with an opponent after the whistle. (S3) Anytime a Major penalty and a Game Misconduct have been assessed for fighting, whether or not both players receive Majors and a Game Misconducts, it has to be classified as a fight. Therefore, the third player to enter must receive the automatic Game Misconduct. (S5) The third player (and all subsequent players) to enter a fight or a player who acts as a peacemaker applies only to situations where at least one player has been assessed a fighting penalty. (S17) 1. In all cases where a penalized player returns to the ice from the dressing room (or after having been escorted off the ice to go to the dressing room) during a fight on the ice, that player shall be assessed a Gross Misconduct plus any other penalties he may incur. (S20) Where two players are "slugging it out toe to toe" or wrestling on the ice (each equally involved) resulting in the fact that both players are ejected from the game with the appropriate penalties, is not a point of concern. The situation of major concern to players, coaches and management relates to the incidents where one player makes no attempt to retaliate other than to protect herself. Yet, both players end up being ejected from the game. Another such situation is where one player "simply covers up" to prevent being pummeled, yet both players are ejected from the game or both players are assessed Minors or double Minors for roughing, yet one player did all the punching. On the subject of double Minors, a number of officials assess double Minors for roughing to avoid the Major penalty and the Game Misconduct for fighting. This is not the intent of the rule. Referees have been constantly informed not to call double Minors for roughing. It is either a Minor for roughing or a Major and a Game Misconduct for fighting. Where a number of punches have been thrown and/or the officials have difficulty separating the two players, then a Major and a Game Misconduct shall be assessed. The rules specifically state that one player may be assessed a Major plus a Game Misconduct for fighting and the opposing player a Minor for roughing or perhaps not assessed any penalty, in this case the player receiving the Major penalty would also receive an extra Minor penalty as instigator. 4e. (as of Sep 20, 2009) Any altercation may be deemed a fight at the sole discretion of the officials. Any player may be assessed a fight major penalty at the sole discretion of the officials. Any player who is assessed a fight major penalty will receive a suspension at the sole discretion of the officials. A first fight major penalty offence will result in a minimum five game suspension. A second fight major penalty offence within the same season will result in a minimum season suspension. A longer, season, multi-season, or permanent suspension (suspended for life) may result for any fight major penalty offence at the sole discretion of the officials. No refunds will be issued. A minimum suspension may not be appealed. Games Suspended For: 1. Spartans vs. Ice Holes on Fri, Jan 5, 2018 2. Cleveland Steamers vs. Rangers on Sat, Jan 6, 2018 3.
