Here are some rules and prohibitions in ice hockey:
Offside: Players must not enter the opponent's zone before the puck does. Offside results in a stoppage of play and a face-off outside the blue line of the offending team.
Icing: Players cannot shoot the puck from behind the center line all the way to the opponent's goal line without it being touched by another player. Icing results in a face-off in the offending team's defensive zone.
Checking from Behind: Checking an opponent from behind into the boards or causing them to crash into the boards is a dangerous play and results in a penalty or misconduct.
High-Sticking: Accidentally or intentionally hitting an opponent with a stick above the shoulder level is high-sticking and results in a penalty.
Tripping: Using a stick, arm, or leg to trip an opponent is tripping and results in a penalty.
Fighting: Engaging in fisticuffs or altercations with opposing players can result in penalties, game misconducts, or ejections.
Goalie Interference: Players cannot obstruct or interfere with the goalie while they are in their crease area. Goalie interference results in penalties and the disallowance of goals.
These rules are enforced to maintain safety, fairness, and sportsmanship in ice hockey games, ensuring that players adhere to the regulations set forth for the game.
