I believe, (if I'm not getting the high school, USA Hockey, and NCAA mixed up),
that the NCAA does not award goals like USA Hockey. Thus the penalty
shot/optional minor penalty. Not 100% sure, like I said, I may have the rule
books confused. Refereeing out of 4 different rule books can sometimes be a
challenge in its own right.
