Delay of game is a penalty in ice hockey. It results in the offending player spending two minutes in the penalty box. Delay of game is usually called under six circumstances[1]:
- A player or goaltender intentionally shoots or throws the puck out of the playing area.
- A defensive player in the defensive zone shoots the puck directly (without being deflected) over the glass. This penalty only applies if the player shoots it over the glass. If the puck is shot into the bench, no penalty is assessed.
- A player or goaltender intentionally knocks the net's goalpost off its moorings, which stops the play. If the net is intentionally knocked loose during a breakaway, the breakaway player is awarded a penalty shot.
- The goaltender plays the puck out of the trapezoid behind the net (in leagues with such a rule).
- The goaltender freezes the puck rather than passing it on to a teammate when no player on the opposing team is within sufficient distance to apply offensive pressure to him/her.
- Any skater other than the goaltender who uses their hands to make the puck unplayable (sometimes known as closing your hand over the puck).
