1. If an attacking skater is in the goal crease at the moment the puck crosses the plane of the goal line and in no way affects the goaltender’s ability to make a save or play his position properly, the goal will count.

2. If a skater of the attacking team is pushed, shoved, or fouled by a defending skater to cause him to be in the goal crease when the puck enters the goal net, the goal will count even if he makes contact with the goaltender unless the attacking skater had sufficient time to get out of the goal crease.

3. An attacking skater who makes incidental contact with a goaltender out of his goal crease while both try to gain possession of the puck will not be penalized. If a goal is scored at this time, the goal will count.

4. An attacking skater establishes position outside the goal crease but in front of the goaltender, obscuring the goaltender’s sightline but making no contact. If a goal is scored, it will count (unless there is a violation of Rule 150-3).
