RULE 96 – GOALS WITH THE SKATE
i.
No goal will be allowed if the puck enters the goal net as a result of
a noticeable kicking motion by an attacking skater.
ii.
A noticeable kicking motion is a movement of the skate along the ice
or in pendulum motion as a means of propelling the puck into the
goal net.
iii.
If an attacking skater kicks at a puck and it is subsequently shot into
the goal net by either that skater or a teammate after the goaltender
has made a save, the goal will be allowed.
SECTION 8
64
iv.
If an attacking skater kicks the puck and it deflects directly off the
goaltender or his equipment, or off a player from either team and into
the goal net, the goal will not be allowed.
v.
If an attacking skater turns his skate in any manner with the intention
of having the puck deflect off it, and the puck enters the goal net as
a result of that deflection, the goal will be allowed so long as there
was no noticeable kicking motion.
vi.
If an attacking skater tries to kick the puck from his skate up to his
stick but fails to gain possession of the puck with his stick before the
puck enters the goal net, the goal will not be allowed because a
noticeable kicking motion propelled the puck into the goal net.
vii.
If an attacking skater is jostling with an opponent and during this time
he propels the puck into the goal net with a noticeable kicking motion
while trying to maintain his balance, the goal will not be allowed. The
noticeable kicking motion is the sole criterion, not the jostling with an
opponent.
viii.
If an attacking skater has the puck on his stick and kicks his stick to
propel the puck into the goal net, the goal will not be allowed.
