Rule 74. Ball Must Be Kept in Motion

A Minor penalty shall be assessed any player who deliberately holds the ball against the boards or any part of the goal in any manner, unless they are being checked by an opponent. Note: Referees must determine the offending player and enforce these rules quickly.

SITUATION 1
Team A is already shorthanded when another delayed penalty is signaled against Team A. Team B, wishing to have a stoppage of play, pushes the ball towards a Team A player who refuses to play the ball. The Referee shall not stop the play as the defending Team A is not in violation of this rule.
