RULE 1129 – DELAY OF GAME / SHOOTING OR THROWING THE PUCK OUT OF PLAY
i. A player who shoots, throws, or bats the puck directly out of play from inside his defending zone anywhere in the playing area (except where there is no protective glass) during game action, without any deflection, will be assessed a minor penalty. The determining factor will be the position of the puck when it is played.
ii. No penalty will be assessed if a player shoots the puck directly over the boards at the players’ benches but not over the protective glass behind the players’ benches.
iii. A player who deliberately shoots the puck out of play anywhere on the floor during play or after a stoppage will be assessed a minor penalty.
