Ever since I saw my first NHL game at hockey heaven, aka Bell Centre in Montreal on October 23rd, 2003, I hooked on hockey. I had no idea what hockey was (it was very minor sports in my home country, Japan), so my husband gave me some lessons while watching the game that night. I even didn't know the black thing on ice was called "puck" and it was just too hard to follow the puck on ice while watching my first NHL game! Since then, I watched many hockey games on every level, college, AHL, CHL, NHL and youth hockey and that's the only sport I truly enjoy watching both on TV and at the rink.
This mini hockey 101 series will show you some hockey rules. If you are not hockey fan yet, hope you will learn the idea and start watching hockey! If you are already a hockey fan, way to go! Let's be a hockey fan with class, praising both teams with good play, not abusing the opponent team and their fans!
Roughing penalty (Unnessesary roughness)
Roughing is considered any act where a player uses unnecessary force to push or shove an opponent or makes avoidable physical contact with an opponent player after the whistle. A penalty for roughing also be assessed to a player who delivers an avoidable body check to an opponent who is no longer in possession and control of the puck.
Depending on the assessment, this penalty can be a minor (2 minutes), a double minor (4 minutes), major (5 minutes) or a major plus a game misconduct (can be ejection from the game).
