Sorry, Mike. My rule book from 1968 (yes, that IS a six) contains
essentially the same wording: "When a Major or Misconduct penalty is
imposed upon a Goalkeeper, the time penalty shall be served byt he
offending goalkeeper, but a substitute player in Goalkeeper's equipment
shall be allowed in the game replacing some other player. Another player
without Goalkeeper's equipment shall go to thepenalty box with the
Goalkeeper and shall go on the ice in place of the penalized Goalkeeper
when the penalty time has expired. The penalized Goalkeeper may not go on
the ice until his teammate with Goalkeeper's equipment has left the ice."
