No goal may be awarded (or disallowed) as a result of video review once the puck has been dropped and play has resumed following the first stoppage of play after the potential goal. The following situations are subject to review by the Video Goal Judge:
- Puck crossing the goal line.
- Puck in the net prior to the goal frame being dislodged.
- Puck in the net prior to, or after expiration of time at the end of the period.
- Puck directed into the net by a hand or foot. With the use of a foot/skate, was a distinct kicking motion evident? If so, the apparent goal must be disallowed. If the Video Goal Judge determines that it was put into the net by an attacking player using a distinct kicking motion, it must be ruled NO GOAL. This would also be true even if the puck, after being kicked, deflects off any other player of either team and then into the net. This is still NO GOAL.
- Puck deflected into the net off an Official.
- Puck struck with a high-stick, above the height of the crossbar, by an attacking player prior to entering the goal. The determining factor is where the puck makes contact with the stick. If the puck makes contact with the stick below the level of the crossbar and enters the goal, this goal shall be allowed.
- To establish the correct time on the official game clock, provided the game time is visible on the Video Goal Judge's monitors.
