patatoe Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 If memory serves, the center in the offensive zone has to put their stick down first. On a center ice faceoff the visiting team's center has to put their stick down first (someone help me out here, but I think that is the rule). Common reasons to get tossed: encroaching over the dot, not squaring up, not putting your stick down first. I can't remember ever seeing a faceoff go to a third guy to take the draw...sounds like an unlikely infraction. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I thought if the second guy gets tossed it is a delay of game penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is correct, but you'll most likely see a cow jump over the moon before this happens. Very, very rare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
