  Penalty (ice hockey) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A penalty in ice hockey is a punishment for inappropriate behaviour.
For infractions that are too minor to deserve a penalty such as icing, hand passes, and offsides, the team is penalized by a faceoff closer to their end.
The record for the most penalty minutes in one season is held by Dave Schultz of the Philadelphia Flyers with 472 in the 1974-75 NHL season.

 Ice hockey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For most penalties, the offending player is sent to the penalty box and his team has to play without him for a short amount of time, giving the other team what is popularly termed a power play.
These penalties end either when the time runs out or the other team scores on the power play; in the case of a goal scored during the first two minutes of a double minor, the penalty clock is set down to two minutes upon a score (effectively expiring the first minor).
The National Hockey League was formed in November of 1917, when members of the former National Hockey Association were engaged in a dispute with one of their fellow owners over insurance proceeds.

 Planet Field Hockey.com - Penalty Corners... safety, simplicity and skills.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
My views on the way to go with the penalty corner is that we should have a 'power play' that requires players to break from midfield with passing against an outnumbered defence (maybe a GK and 2 defenders) who would not be frozen on the goal line as is presently the case.
The corner would be preserved in the form of the present penalty corner except the ball would be injected from the sideline as at present and the attackers would have to be outside the 25 while the rest of the defence team would be at the half line.
Before the drag flick, the penalty corner had a certain role, and one of the initial points of this thread was that that role has now been changed substantially, to the point that the tail may now be wagging the dog, that a team may excel primarily on the strength of its drag fligkers.
