A Guide to Hockey Rules & Penalties | Pure Hockey
After watching McDavid...again...being blatantly tripped with a ref staring right at him in the Red Wings game. I thought it would be a good exercise for any posts of all the non-call penalties during the rest of season.
I would love any ex-ref professionals to confirm to legitimize the non-call.
Plus it's good way to better understand what is a penalty and what is not.
Example of Non-Call:
Penalty: Tripping — Causing an opponent to fall by tripping with stick or body.

Minor Penalties
- High sticking — Making contact with an opposing player above the shoulder with your stick, whether intentionally or inadvertently. If the play results in an injury, the penalty can be increased.
- Holding — Grabbing a player’s body, sweater, or stick, or preventing them from getting to the puck.
- Hooking — Using the blade of the stick to hold an opponent and prevent movement.
- Cross-checking — A hit in which a player uses the stick, held with both hands, to check an opponent.
- Roughing — Striking an opponent during an altercation that the officials decide is not severe enough to earn a more severe penalty. If a player punches another with gloves on during a skirmish officials will sometimes give a roughing penalty.
- Tripping — Causing an opponent to fall by tripping with stick or body.
- Boarding — Checking, tripping, or pushing an opponent into the side or end boards.
- Spearing — Striking an opponent with the blade of the stick in a stabbing motion.
- Slashing — Striking an opponent with the stick; often seen as a chop to the lower body.
- Charging — A hit in which a player takes multiple strides to gain speed to punish an opposing player, or if a player leaves his or her feet to maximize the impact.
- Check from behind — A check that impacts an opposing player from behind, preventing the player from preparing for the impact.
- Check to the head — Any contact above the shoulder that puts the head at risk.
- Fighting — Many scrums break out around the net or after a whistle, but a fighting major is called when a player drops the gloves and throws blows at another player.
