Metro High School Hockey League Rule Change

When players are penalized at a stoppage of play so as to result in penalties being placed on the penalty time clock to one team, the ensuing face-off shall be conducted at one of the two face-off spots in the offending team’s end zone.
 
There are only four exceptions to this application:
(i) when a penalty is assessed after the scoring of a goal - face-off at center ice;
(ii) when a penalty is assessed at the end (or start) of a period - face-off at center ice;
(iii) when the defending team is penalized and the attacking players enter the attacking zone beyond the outer edge of the end zone face-off circle - face-off in the neutral zone;
(iv) when the team not being penalized ices the puck - face-off in the neutral zone outside the blue line of the team icing the puck.
 
When an infringement of a rule has been committed by players of both sides in the play resulting in the stoppage, the ensuing face-off will be made at the nearest face-off spot in that zone.
