Committee: 14. HockeySubmitted on 2025-06-30
Status: Review from June 30, 2025 to July 08, 2025
Background
Added that an attempt does not start until the ball is touched. Have had instances where player missed the ball.
Proposal
Old
14B.5.2 Penalty Shootout
Three of the players from each team get one penalty shot each. If it is still a draw, each
team shoots one more penalty until there is a decision. It is possible that one player can
take more than one shot. However, in all cases at least two other players have to take a
shot before the same player can shoot again.
For the penalty, all players except for a defending goalkeeper leave the corresponding
half of the playing field. The goalkeeper must be close to the goal line, at least until
the attacking player has had contact with the ball. The referee places the ball on the
center point and the player taking the shot will, after the whistle of the referee, play the
ball from there, trying to score a goal. The player must remain in motion towards the
goal line with no backwards movement or stopping allowed. Once the ball has been shot,
the play shall be considered complete. No goal can be scored on a rebound of any kind
(an exception being the ball off the goal post and/or the goalkeeper and then directly
into the goal), and any time the ball crosses the goal line, the shot shall be considered
complete.

For the penalty, all players except for the defending goalkeeper leave the corresponding

The goalkeeper must remain close to the goal line until the attacking player has made contact with the ball. After the referee's whistle, the attacking player may play the ball, trying to score a goal. The shot attempt begins as soon as the player taking the shot has contacted the ball, and the player must remain in motion towards the goal line with no backwards movement or stopping allowed.
Once the ball has been shot, the play shall be considered complete. No goal can be scored on a rebound of any kind (an exception being the ball off the goal post and/or the goalkeeper and then directly into the goal), and any time the ball crosses the goal line, the shot shall be considered complete.
