The next penalty we're going to show you is tripping. Tripping is another minor penalty
and it's when a player uses his stick or body to make an opponent fall to the ice. We're
going to demonstrate a couple of examples of what a tripping penalty would look like.
So the most common way for a tripping penalty to occur is when a skater is skating away
from you and you kind of use your skate down here and you basically kind of like hook.
Or if you get by accident, some times this can actually occur by accident. You kind of
get your blade around their ankle or skate or leg and you make them fall to the ice.
Also a trip can be if I'm coming down low, something like that where you get both the
entire shaft of the blade underneath both legs. And I'm not going to demonstrate it,
but you could use your body to trip if I was, I don't know coming down low and I made him
trip like that. You could get called so. That is the tripping penalty.
