Summary
This is a list of all infractions documented in QCβs penalty codification and cross-referenced with Playβs list of infractions.
TODO
Review Ontario suspension codes
Review HCR infraction list used in game incident reporting (likely aligns with Ontario)
Check if other provinces use codes (BC, AB, SK, MB do not)

2022 Update
A significant rulebook update is incoming, so this page will probably need to be revised
Hockey Quebec Administrative Regulations
Hockey Quebec Penalty Codification
Hockey Quebec Codification
Code | Type | Duration |
---|---|---|
A | Minor, Bench Minor | 2 min |
B | Major | 5 min |
C | Misconduct | 10 min |
D | Game Misconduct | 10 min (Ejection) |
E | Match | 10 min (Ejection) |
F | Penalty shot | n/a |
/S | Penalty after the whistle | |
/G | Penalty on goaltender | |
/NP | Penalty on player without puck |
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). Havenβt found a source for this regulation yet.
