Just a quick note of correction: the faceoff after an offside doesn't go back to the attacking team's zone; it occurs in the neutral zone at the dot closest to the place of the infraction.

My boyfriend plays hockey & loves it, so I’m trying to learn about it so I can talk about it with him ❤️❤️❤️

A note that isnt clear in the video:

Misconducts do not result in your team being down a man. The player sits for 10 but the team isnt short (though misconducts usually are accompanied by other penalties that do result in being short handed).

I appreciate this quick rundown on the rules and penalties. I'm just getting into NHL since the inauguration of the Seattle Kraken. So far I'm loving it.

[IrisMG]

I learned a lot! Will re-watch often, the more hockey games I watch, which unfortunately is only through YouTube

The American interest and attendance would exponentially increase if this simple video could replace the pre-game talking heads at least once per month.

Hey guys! I'm a 14 year old girl and I'm not really into sports, however the NHL has definitely intrigued me. I look forward to watching more games and possibly learning more about ice hockey in the future!

I went to the bruins game tonight. I didn’t fully understand the rules and why some penalties were called but now I get why they happened. I’m starting to really enjoy hockey. Thanks

NHL fans, please welcome a new fan of yours.
I'll be switching the NBA for the NHL for a while. Reason is, that we already know who will win the NBA title. I don't want sports to be predictable, and since your sport is most unpredictable, as far as I know, then I'll be joining aboard.
I won't be choosing a favorite team yet, that would be disrespectful. So, I'll wait for the season to start, I'll watch as many games as possible, and maybe from there I'll chose a team to cheer on.

Or as we say in North America, 'HOCKEY.'

[JUMALATION]

Refreshing to recap the rules in English, I have only been watching ice hockey with Finnish commentators (and Finnish isn't even my first language lol). Thank you for the brief rule video!

[saucyonePR]

Thanks for the video. Me starting to get into being a fan of hockey, this explains a lot. I understand it's just skimming the surface but great video. Thx!!

[Joel-wjtm]

Great video! You pretty much covered everything about hockey. However, you should make a second video that is more about penalties for people who are new to this awesome sport. Keep it up!

[sammyeveret]

Made a new friend a couple weeks ago and he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met. never in my life have I shown an interest in hockey but i want to be able to understand it for him. thanks for the short and concise video! rly appreciate it :)

[sindythebeautiful]

ok, I'm going to have to watch this a few more times. Thanks for the run down.

[siredaruler]

Thanks needed that! All these years I've just been watching the action and not caring so much about the rules because hockey is fun to watch even if you don't know the rules #BoltUp

[susansakka]

Thanks for making this video. I go to a lot of hockey games, but never understood some of the rules. Would be nice to have examples of the penalties, and also explain the rules about fighting.

[Myka_The_Lost]

My best friend who lives with my family now. Grew up watching Hockey. I watched a game with her a few nights ago and was lost. Even though she tried to explain it to me. I felt like looking into rules before the game we're watching tonight to try to understand better. I appreciate this

[lakerunner]

I’m a hockey novice so this was exactly what I was looking for to learn what I need to know. Thanks!

[just_fishfish]

Very helpful. I have a hockey game tomorrow and I had no idea how to play, so this helped a lot!!
