      Minor Penalties continued. These are the goalie penalties:
1. Leaving the Goal Crease - a. goalie can't leave the general 
vicinity of his crease during a fight. If the fight is near his
crease, the referee will direct him to a neutral place to wait.
b. Goalie can't go to the bench during stopages in play with-
out referee's permission unless it's a time out.

2. Participating in the Play over the Center Red Line - A goalie
can't play the puck or check another player on the wrong
side of the center red line.

3. Restricted Area - Goalie can't play the puck behind the

goal line outside of the "trapezoid."
