Entertainment / Ice Hockey / Tripping: Tripping is a minor penalty and is imposed on any player who places his stick or any portion of his body in such a manner that it shall cause his opponent to trip and fall. When a player is in control of the puck on the opponent's side of the center red line and has no other opponent to pass than the goalkeeper, but is then tripped from behind, which prevents him a reasonable scoring opportunity, a penalty shot is awarded to the team whose player was tripped. However, the referee won?t stop the play until the attacking side has lost possession of the puck to the defending side.
