(Scott asks for a ruling on a goal scored immediately after the
timekeeper blows the horn, but presumably before or without an on-ice
official signaling stoppage of play) ...
 
   Since this is the "COLLEGE Hockey Discussion List", I'll ignore the
   "USA Hockey" rule directive.  I've been a timekeeper for a zillion
   youth and high school games ...  and you'd never see me tooting my
   horn during play :-)
 
For NCAA play, the rules are not at all explicit about stoppages of the
clock (to me), but are clear for this event.  Rule 6-15 c.(7):
 
   "c. A goal shall not be allowed in any of the folowing cases:
 
       (7) If a goal is made after the referee, assistant referee or
           timekeeper has signaled play to stop;"
 
To continue on "stoppages of the clock" ...
 
(1) Why does the clock stop when play stops?
 
(2) If the clock is to stop on a referee's whistle, why isn't there a
    whistle when a goal is scored?
 
cheers,
