Re: Colgate 2009-2010
Thankfully, the NCAA publishes its' rulebook online. Let's go to the specific rule.
Rule 4, Section 6
SECTION 6. a. When any infraction of the rules calls for a penalty shot
not involving a major, disqualification or misconduct penalty, the nonoffending
team shall be given the option of accepting the penalty shot
or having a minor penalty assessed to the offending player. If, however,
a major, disqualification or misconduct penalty is incurred with the
penalty shot, the shot shall be awarded and the penalty for the prescribed
infraction shall be assessed.
d. When a penalty shot is awarded under Rules 2-5-h, i and 6-34-e (illegal
entry into the game), 6-10-f (in the last two minutes of regulation
time or anytime during overtime, displacing the goal post, goalkeeper
removing the helmet and/or face mask, or deliberately displacing the
goal to prevent the puck from entering the goal at any time) or 6-16-b
(defending player falling on, holding or gathering the puck into the body
or hands when the puck in within the goal crease), the captain of the
offending team shall designate any player who is not serving a penalty
at that time to take the penalty shot. Such selection shall be reported to
the referee and cannot be changed.
When a penalty shot is awarded under Rules 6-29-e (interference) and
6-59-b (fouling from behind), the referee shall designate the player who has
been fouled as the player who shall take the penalty shot.
When a penalty shot is awarded under Rule 6-10-f (during the course of
a breakaway, a goalkeeper or player deliberately displaces the goal post or a
goalkeeper deliberately removes the helmet and/or face mask), the penalty
shot shall be taken by the player last in possession of the puck.
The bolded portion is the correct application of the rule which was not enforced on Friday night. Zajac should've taken the shot since he was the one that was being hooked by McNamara.
