How Hockey Referee Deals with Major Penalty

Major penalties are things that irate fans and players in hockey (or basically any other sports). Being caught in such aggressive team sport, sometimes players and fans can get caught in the atmosphere, and the players retort to violent behaviors that can even no longer be considered as minor offenses. This is why hockey referee must understand the way to distinguish between minor and major offenses, since both can also be interchangeable depend on the situation.

What Referee Must Do
Major penalties usually cause a player to be expelled from the game for 5 minutes until the opponent team scores a goal, and this is done without any substitute. However, if the offenses are done by two players from both teams and they are expelled, both can be substituted so the game can continue.
