What probably happened was the goalie was outside of his priviliged
area. This is a rectangle extending from the face-off dots, straight
back to the boards behind the net. If the goalie covers the puck outside
of this rectangle, he gets a minor for delay og game.
This happened in our exhibition game with Alberta--due to the lengthy
explaination to the coaches & players, I got the impression that this is
not a common rule, but it's in the NCAA.
