The game

  1. How do line changes work in inline hockey?Play starts and restarts with a face-off, the puck dropped between two players with the rest 3 m away.

Penalties

  1. What is a game misconduct in inline hockey?A misconduct removes a player for ten minutes, but a substitute may replace them at once, so the team is not short.
  2. What is a delayed penalty in inline hockey?When the team without the puck commits a foul, the referee raises an arm and lets play run until the offending team touches the puck.
  3. When is a penalty shot given in inline hockey?A penalty shot is given when a player in control of the puck, over the centre line with only the goalkeeper to beat, is fouled from behind and loses a fair scoring chance.
  4. Is body checking allowed in inline hockey?Inline hockey is not a body-checking game: running at or checking an opponent can be penalised as charging, interference or roughing.
