That's right, USCHO does cut out the penalties from the box scores,
as does USA Today I believe.
 
The reasons are fairly simple.  It's much easier for some SID to
compile the full box score, but when USCHO receives it either online
or via fax it has be reformated to fit the page.  Now when you
consider the shear number of box scores, the time saved by cutting
out the penalties is immense.  This is key when only ONE person is in
charge of boxscores (usually).

This is true.  We've had a great response from many of the SID's
already, and some coaches are even telling our writers that they are
reviewing the site.  It's a fun project, no doubt about that.
