Sometimes when the infractions occur after the whistle the ref will keep
play at 5 on 5 I've noticed.

> Could it have been matching double-minors?  Matching minors does lead to 4
on 4, but if its double minors, then it stays 5 on 5.  I think the intent
must be to limit the amount of time teams play a man down.  Personally, not
only do I not like that, I would like to see them go back to 3 on 3 hockey
if a second matching minor shows up.  Guess I'm just an old fogey.
