its like a penalty corner\n4 defenders + goalie are allowed to stay in the goal\nand everyone else must been in the other half\none person from the attacking team drags the ball from the 2nd line next the goal, and the other players must wait before the ball comes out the D to touch the ball

it's just to make sure every player was 10 yards away from the penalty spot when a penalty is being taken..have u seen a penalty kick before?no player would stand in it instead they stood around the semicircle..maybe u didnt notice it because the camera usually focus on the ball and goal..\n\nso let me give u a similar example where u can always see..the same rule applied to the circle at the center of the field..when a kick off is about to be made..the opposition side must not stand inside the circle..i'm sure u noticed that right..?that is because they must not be within ten yards from the ball..the same rule applied for free kick where the wall must be 10 yards away..\n\nso a simple answer to ur question is that the semicircle is just for making sure that players are 10 yards away from the spot..that's all..this also means that the semicircle's radius is 10 yards where the centroid is the penalty spot..it doesnt included as penalty box which means goalie cannot handle the ball there and penalty wont be awarded if a foul occured there..

An offside is when a player crosses the blue line before the puck and the whistle is blown and a face off is taken just out side the blue line at one of the dots.\n\n__________________________blue line\n           \n------------------O--------------------- red line \n__________________________\nA penalty  is any illegal action usually physical hit to the head tripping etc. or bad sportsmanship the player is sent to the box for a period of time accordingly, 2, 5,10 minutes or the rest of the game or multiple games.

Usually stick side....but i have played against some goalies that are weaker on their glove side, but i guess it just really depends on the goalie.

When the opposing team has a player in the penalty box... the team at full strength has the "power play".  Since they have one more player on the ice, that gives them a better chance to score.  The team with one less player (sometimes 2 if there are 2 in the penalty box) is in what is refered to as the "penalty kill" since they are trying to kill the time on the clock with out letting the other team score.  If a team scores during the power play, the player in the penalty box gets to come out even if his time is not up yet.

As with a normal free kick, opposition players must be 10 yards from the ball. This semi circle is exactly 10 yards from the penalty spot, so when the kick is being taken, no-one can enter this semi circle, or the rest of the penalty area. If it wasn't there, then players could stand closer than the 10 yards allowed.\n\nIf that made any sense

What must have happened is I must have hit my head on the boards, because last time I checked I was playing hockey and there is no 25 yard line.\n\nHuh?\n\nIn hockey if the ref's making gestures towards his feet it's probably a tripping call.\n\nI have no idea what it is in football.

-Shot on goal\nWhen the puck is shot between the posts and under the cross bar.  Basically if the goalie wasn't there, the shot would go in.\n\n-Scoring chance\nThis is not an officially kept stat like goals and penalties.  These are tallied by the broadcaster.  A scoring chance includes: breakaway, odd man rush, penalty shot, empty net shot, etc....  It does depend, also, on who is tracking the stat.  This person may also consider a pass through the crease to an open winger who takes a one-timer to be a scoring chance.

There are a few reasons...\n\nOne is that the player is not lined up properly with his skates, or he doesn't have his stick down.\n\nAlso, if one of his teammates is violating the face-off circle (i.e. moves in before the puck is dropped), the linesman can also kick him out.

the ball is passed to a player behind the opposing teams defence. Its so teams cant cherry-pick and just wait in front of the net.

It refers to their positions:\n\nR= Referee\n\nHL= Head Linesman\n\nLJ= Line judge\n\nU= Umpire\n\nBJ= Back Judge\n\nFJ= Field Judge\n\nSJ= Side Judge

they can ice the puck because they are one man short.  The team who has the man-advantage must still be able to control the puck well enough to set up scoring opprotunities, but if the team whose player caused a penalty is able to steal the puck, they are allowed to ice it as a defense strategy.\n\nIt is fair because a penalty only gives the opposing team an advantage--it does not give that team a sure thing (i.e., an automatic chance at scorign a goal), unless of course, it is a penalty on a breakway--which results in a penalty shot.

Your question isn't clear, but I think there are two things you might be thinking of...\n1) 3-16-4 for a goal scored would mean the goal was scored by 3 and assisted by 16 and 4.\n2) 3-16-4 for a team record would mean that the team won 3 games, lost 16 games, and lost 4 games in overtime.\nHope that helps.\nP.S. Melancholy, there aren't ties in hockey anymore (unless its a high school league)

it's just to make sure every player was 10 yards away from the penalty spot when a penalty is being taken..have u seen a penalty kick before?no player would stand in it instead they stood around the semicircle..it's similar to the circle at the center of the field..when a kick off is about to be made..the opposition side must not stand inside the circle..i'm sure u noticed that right..?so a simple answer to ur question is the semicircle is just for making sure that players are 10 yards away from the spot..that's all..goalie cannot handle the ball there and penalty wont be awarded if a foul occured there..

The kick-off counts as a free kick at which opposition have to be 10 yards away from the ball. The centre circle is of 10 yds radius and the opposition are not allowed to encroach within it at a kick off.\nThe "D"  is an arc of a circle of radius 10 yds with the centre at the penalty spot. It is there to ensure that all players are 10yds from the spot when penalty shot is taken. I believe that Major Buckley, the then manager of W.B.A., realised that  there was a small part of the pitch outside  "the area" that was within 10 yds of the penalty spot and so the "D" was added to the pitch markings to ensure that no player was within 10 yds at the time the penalty was taken.

When a player is on the ice, they record the number of goals for and against his team. If his team scores more than they are scored against while he is on the ice, he has a postive number.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think it has to do with the goals scored when the player is on the ice.  If their team scores a goal, it counts as a plus and if the other team scores a goal while they are on the ice, it's a minus.  I'm pretty sure that's what it means.\nHope that helped.
