How are goals and assists credited, and can they be corrected?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Referee awards goals and assists and announces them to you. Their decision is final. Goal: credited to the attacking player who legally propelled the puck into the goal. If the puck went in because of something the defending team did, it's credited to the last attacking player to play the puck. Assists: up to two, to the players who had possession of the puck immediately before the goal. Points: each goal and each assist is one point. No player can get more than one point on the same goal. Corrections: Requests to change the scoring are only considered if made at or before the end of the game. Obvious errors should be corrected promptly. No changes can be made once the Referee has signed the scoresheet.
