Any refs out there might like to toy with this one: Team A is in the attacking zone. Player A1 is cross-checked in a corner by player B1 and the result is a two minute minor. The penalty is called at the five minute mark of the second period. The face-off is held to the right of the Team B net. (the puck was in the attacking zone...blah, blah) The scorekeeper has a question about the penalty and therefore decides to blow the horn AFTER the puck has been dropped. Player A1 (he's pretty fiesty isn't he?) drops the face-off back to his defense- man player A2 who shoots the puck on net. During progress of the puck, the horn sounds...the puck goes in the net. Now the question is, goal or no goal...and back your statement up with USA hockey amateur rules. When you get the answer, let me know how long it took to find your ruling.-S. Anderson
