Question #4 > Goal or No Goal?
I say it is a goal.....normally a kicking motion by the attacking team that causes the puck to go into the net would be disallowed, but because it deflected off a defender I believe that a puck that goes in the net anyway by the defending team is allowed.

no goal. a puck that has been kicked and deflected into the goal by any player is not allowed.

No goal. The puck was illegally propelled. Even though it struck a defending player it is still waved off.

Question....does it hit the defenders stick? If so it would be a goal
KP
Rule 624 (a), No goal
Ron M.
goal, went off an opponent, not directly off the kicking skate

Ron M. is correct. Rule 624 (a) states:
"Kicking the puck shall be permitted in all zones; however, a goal shall not be allowed if the puck was kicked by an attacking player and entered the goal either directly or after deflecting off any player including the goal keeper."

Player A has the puck and is in front of his opponents net. A defender has his stick tied up. Player A kicks the puck toward a teammate who is open on the other side of the net. The puck deflects off a defender and goes into the net. Is this a good goal? Why or Why not?
