Question:

Does the accumulation of four minor penalties equal a major penalty?

Answer:

No, however both result in one minute in the penalty box. Minor penalties and major penalties are separately inventoried. Minor Penalties do not count towards the major penalty cap, and major penalties do not count towards the minor penalty cap. Minor and major Penalties should only be inventoried jointly when determining a player’s combined trips to the penalty box . See Section 6.5 for details.
