What are the main penalty types and how long are they?

• Minor: 2 minutes off the ice, with no substitute allowed.
• Bench minor: 2 minutes, served by one player on the team (other than the goalkeeper) designated to serve it.
• Double minor: 4 minutes off the ice, with no substitute allowed.
• Major: 5 minutes off the ice for the first major in a game, with no substitute allowed.
• Misconduct: 10 minutes. A substitute can immediately replace the player, and the player stays in the penalty box until the next stoppage once the time has expired.
• Game misconduct: the player is out for the rest of the game and a substitute may replace him. Ten minutes go on his record, and he is reported to the Commissioner, who can impose a suspension or fine.
• Match: the player is suspended for the rest of the game and sent to the dressing room immediately. It is imposed on a player who deliberately attempts to injure or injures an opponent. A substitute may replace him after five minutes of playing time, and 15 minutes are charged on his record.
