RULE 130 – DELAY OF GAME/DISPLACED GOAL NET i.  
A player who deliberately displaces the goal net from its normal

ii.  If a player deliberately displaces his own goal net from 
its normal position during the last two minutes of regulation
time, or at any time in overtime, the referee will award the 
opposing team a penalty shot. 
iii.  If a player deliberately displaces his own goal net from 
its normal position when an attacking skater is on a breakaway,
the referee will award the opposing team a penalty shot. 
iv.  If, when a goaltender has been removed from the ice, a
teammate displaces their goal net from its normal position 
when an attacking skater is on a breakaway, the referee will 
award a goal to the opposing team. 
v.  If the goal net becomes displaced during game action as 
a result of some action by the attacking team as the defending 
team gains possession of the puck with a clear chance to move 
up ice, there will be no whistle until puck possession changes again. 
If the defending team moves up ice and scores a goal, the goal 
will be allowed.

blue line. 
vii.  If possession in Rule 130-v changes in the neutral zone or 
attacking zone of the defending team, the ensuing faceoff will 
occur at the nearest faceoff spot to where play was stopped.
