sticking

High-sticking is the name of two infractions in the sport of ice hockey. It is also the name of a minor penalty called in the sport of ringette. This article deals chiefly with situations involving the sport of ice hockey.
High-sticking may occur when a player intentionally or inadvertently plays the puck with his stick above the height of the shoulders or above the cross bar of a hockey goal. This can result in a penalty or a stoppage of play. In the rules of the National Hockey League, high-sticking is defined as a penalty in Rule 60 and as a non-penalty foul in Rule 80.
A penalty is assessed if a player strikes another player with a high stick. The player is given a minor penalty unless his high stick caused an injury, in which case the referee has the option to assess a double-minor, major, game misconduct or match penalty. It is the referee's discretion which penalty to assess: the rule calls for a double minor for an accidental injury, or a match penalty for a deliberate attempt to injure (whether the opposition player was actually injured). Injury is usually decided by the high stick causing bleeding, but the presence of blood does not automatically mean an extra penalty is awarded. Some referees have been known to award an extra penalty without the presence of blood if the referee determines that the injury sustained was sufficient to warrant a double-minor penalty.
A stoppage in play results if a high stick comes in contact with the puck and the team who touched it regains control of the puck. However, play usually continues if a player touches the puck with a high stick and the opposing team gains control of the puck. If the puck goes into the opposing net after coming into contact with a high stick, the goal is disallowed. The level at which a stick is considered too high for a goal is the crossbar of the net. However, if a player knocks the puck into his own net with a high stick, the goal is allowed.

    Help with toilet flush valve sticking

    I recently moved into a new flat and both toilets were dripping when not in use. I found that the issue was the flush valve seal and replaced it on both of them. It stopped the dripping but the issue now is that sometimes it sticks after flushing and I need to give it a wiggle to make it go back...

    Stuart Turner Monsoon pump sticking on or off

    We have a Stuart Turner Monsoon 2 bar shower pump which has lately been either refusing to start, or not switching off when we turn off the shower. Tapping the side of the outlet pipe seems to unstick it more often than not, but it's a real nuisance. We have an oil-fired Aga, and the water does...

    Under Floor Heating - one of the valves sticking?

    Hi - I'm not sure what these things in the picture are called, but water flows to each room when the "float" moves down, but one is stuck. Last year a heating engineer came and unstuck the valve by tapping on it with his screwdriver head. I've tried that, but no luck - three of the floats move...

    DAB Esytank 3/4" ballvalve temperamental operation

    Evening all, have any of you had this issue? I recently installed a DAB Esytank (480 ltr accumulator) and Esybox pump and the Esytank has overflowed a few times now. I'll probably change the DAB ballvalve for a brass Pt2 one. Appreciate any advice. Cheers

    2 port valve sticking open

    Hi, It appears the 2 port valve for the heating is sticking/stuck open. The heating is turned right down on the thermostat but when the hot water is on (separate 2 port valve) the radiators are also getting warm. I'm hoping it doesn't need to be a new valve...... Thanks in advance!
