1. In cases where a skater is fouled in a manner that warrants a penalty shot, any skater on the team who was not about to be penalized can be named by the coach to take the shot.

2. The coach of the defending team is allowed to change goaltenders prior to a penalty shot, but the incoming goaltender is not allowed a warmup of any kind.

3. Should two penalty shots be awarded to the same team at the same stoppage of play (for two separate fouls), only one goal can be scored. Should the first penalty shot result in a goal, the second penalty shot is automatically cancelled, but the appropriate penalty is assessed for the second infraction. If the first shot is unsuccessful, the second shot is taken. The order of the penalty shots will be decided by the order of the infractions during game action.

4. Only a goaltender or backup goaltender is allowed to be the goaltender during a penalty shot or penalty-shot shootout.

5. A skater is allowed to be the goaltender during a penalty shot or penalty-shot shootout only if both the starting goaltender and the backup goaltender are injured or serving penalties which have removed them from the game.
