What do I record on the Official Game Report for goals, assists and penalties?

Under Rule 5.6 (c) and (f) of the Hockey Canada Playing Rules 2026-2028, the Official Scorer:

• enters a correct record of the goals scored, by whom they were scored and to whom assists, if any, are credited;
• keeps a correct record of all penalties assessed, stating the names and numbers of the penalized players, the duration of the penalty, the infraction and the time the penalties were assessed;
• at the end of the game signs the Official Game Report, has the referee sign it, and forwards it to the Secretary of the Member or league involved.

Other entries the rules call for:

• A Game Misconduct or Gross Misconduct is recorded as 10 minutes against the offending player. A Game Ejection has no time recorded (Rules 4.8, 4.9).
• A goaltender who leaves the crease during a fight is recorded as "Leaving the Crease" (Rule 7.10 (a)).
• Goals that are awarded, scored on penalty shots or scored by the defending team into its own net are recorded as unassisted (Rule 6.6 Interpretation 5).
• The referee announces to the scorer the penalty duration, the infraction and who gets goal and assist credit (Rule 5.2 (g)).
