And here's the clincher rule which puts this automatic goals question to
rest...
Rule 4-9c: A goal shall not be awarded as a penalty for any offense, such
as throwing a stick to prevent a goal or otherwise.
The rule-writers were even nice enough to include by example our own
stick-throwing situation... talk about mind-reading. :-)
In summary, it's always safe to play by the rule that "there are no
automatic goals when playing by NC$$ rules." However, for USA hockey (AHAUS),
the situation is different, and awarded goals ARE allowed. -- kennyz
