They must endeavor to prevent disorderly conduct before, during or after the game, on or off the ice and any place in the rink. The Referee may assess penalties to any of the above team officials for failure to do so and shall report full details of the incident to the President. (a) A Minor penalty shall be assessed to any player or team official who challenges or disputes the rulings of any official during the game or who displays unsportsmanlike conduct. If a player or goaltender persists, he shall be assessed a Misconduct penalty and any further disputes will result in a Game Misconduct penalty being assessed to the offending player or goaltender. If a team official persists, he shall immediately be assessed a Game Misconduct penalty. A Referee is not required to assess a Minor penalty under this rule before assessing the Misconduct or Game Misconduct, but may assess either of these penalties initially. (b) A Misconduct penalty shall be assessed on any player who: (1) uses obscene, profane or abusive language or gestures to any person. (2) persists in disputing or shows disrespect for the ruling of any official. (3) intentionally knocks or shoots the puck out of reach of an official who is retrieving it. A player who, after receiving a Misconduct penalty, persists in any of the actions of (b) above, shall be assessed a Game Misconduct penalty. Note: In the case of a team official, a Bench Minor penalty shall be assessed instead of a Misconduct penalty. A team official after receiving a Bench Minor penalty would receive a Game Misconduct penalty if the actions continue. A Referee is not required to assess a Bench Minor penalty under this rule before assessing a Game Misconduct penalty. (c) If the Referee is unable to identify the person responsible for the use of obscene, profane or abusive language, a Bench Minor penalty shall be assessed the offending team. (d) A Misconduct penalty shall be assessed any player who does not proceed immediately and directly to the penalty bench when she has been penalized.

The equipment shall be delivered to him on the penalty bench by a player of his team on the ice at the time of the infraction. Note: It shall be necessary to place a substitute on the penalty bench. Such substitute may return to the ice as soon as the Misconduct penalty to the offending player commences.

(f) Any player or team official who engages in verbal taunts, insults or intimidation based on discriminatory grounds (race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, language) shall be assessed a Gross Misconduct penalty and the Referee shall report full details of the incident to the President.

Note: Officials must complete a game report and report to the President any penalty incurred under Rule 9.2(f). (g) A Misconduct penalty shall be assessed any player or players who, except for taking his position on the penalty bench, enters or remains in the Referee's crease while the Referee is reporting to or consulting with any game official, including the Linesmen, Timekeeper, Penalty Timekeeper, Official Scorer or Announcer. (h) Where a team official has been assessed a Game Misconduct penalty under this rule, the Referee shall report the individual in full details to the President, who may assess further penalties.
