Info

Match + Major*

Per HC Rule 4.4(a), normally when a Major penalty is incurred, then a Game Misconduct is also assessed. Hockey Quebec has an additional branch regulation where incurring a Match penalty automatically assesses a Major penalty (without the GM). Haven’t found a source for this regulation yet.
