From Mr. Mike Machnik's notes: >>* Defined coincidental penalties for Rule 4-2-e and Rule 4-3-b to include >>penalties assessed at the same stoppage of play. > >I'm not sure where this adds anything new...I am guessing it comes into >play in situations where a delayed penalty or penalties are being called >and after the whistle, other penalties are called. I'm taking a stab in the dark with this, but I think this has to do with the new rule made last year dealing with coincidental minors. Before last year, when coincidental minors were called, it was a four-on-four situation. This was also the case when two separate minors were called. Last year, they changed the rule so that when coincidental minors were called, it was still a five-on-five situation. The problem: when two separate minors are called and assessed at the same stoppage of play, is it to be four-on-four or five-on-five? The new rule cleared this up calling anything assessed at the same time, whether they were simultaneous or not, coincidental. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- ** ** Chris Boston ** ** * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** ** * [log in to unmask] * * * ***** * * * * * * * * * * * * ** ** University "Home is where your hockey team is!" -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --
