Question #3 > Tripping
False. If you leave your feet and cause a player to fall by sliding into them, it's a tripping penalty UNLESS it's a shot block attempt.
And if, as a d-man facing a 2-on-1, you fall to the ice to take away a pass option and 20 feet later the puck carrier turns into you while you are still on the ice and skates over you and falls, that's tripping too! :-P

Depends if players A and B are playing in the NHL. In which instance, there would be no tripping infraction called against player B. However, in all other such leagues not affiliated with the NHL, it would be a penalty and player B would get the gate.

ron m.,
full stride plays out of the u.s.a. hockey rule book. therefore, assume that all of the situations in this 'you make the call' section are to be concerned with the u.s.a. hockey rule book.

True or False.
A player from team A is skating into his attacking zone with the puck. A player from team B dives at the player from team A who is carrying the puck, causing him to fall. However, the player from team B hit the puck with his stick before causing the other player to fall. The referee shall NOT call a tripping penalty because the player who dove made contact with the puck before causing the other player to fall.
