Penalties

Hi Guys - yeah, hard to say without seeing it, but depending on what the 'grab' by the 2nd guy looked like, I would probably give both the same time penalty, but play a free puck for the team that was fouled first.

2 min sounds fair because both actions were deliberate.

I will often NOT give a time penalty to an infringed player who looks like he/she is simply trying to protect themselves by holding the 'attacking' player away though. It's really common for a lot of refs to just throw both players involved out - even if the 2nd one isn't SEEN doing anything - and I really hate that! The thought seems to be " well they must have done something, so I'll kick them out anyway" - and that's just wrong if you haven't actually seen a foul!

Cheers, Simon
