Question:
When is a major penalty in effect, at the time the referee calls it, or when the penalized skater becomes aware of it?
Answer:
A penalty is in effect at the time that the penalty is enforced. The penalized player is “in the box” when the referee directs her off the track.
Question:
If there is an illegal star pass, who is given the major penalty: the original Jammer, or the original Pivot?

The initiator of the illegal star pass receives the major penalty.
Question:
Is overtime considered an extension of the final period or a whole new period?
Answer:
Overtime is an extension of the final period. Players ejected from that period are not eligible to return to play for overtime. Major and minor penalty inventories towards ejection are not reset, neither are trips to the penalty box inventories.
Question:
Does one player’s illegal action give an opposing player free reign to commit an illegal action in order to negate the first illegal action?
Answer:
A player committing one penalty does not give the fouled-on player carte blanche to commit a second penalty. Referees must issue penalties for all illegal actions.
