What are penalty options for tripping?

In Ice Hockey, tripping can result in a minor penalty, typically lasting two minutes, or a major penalty for more severe infractions. The player assessed for tripping must serve the penalty in the penalty box, leaving their team short-handed. If the tripping occurs as a result of a more dangerous play, such as a player being injured, referees may impose a match penalty or a game misconduct. The specific penalty may vary based on the severity of the incident and the league's rules.
