Situation of the Week:  Change of Players

Situation: Change of Players

Situation:  The goalkeeper goes to her bench during a stoppage of play. The Referee sees this and advises the Coach that a substitute for the goalkeeper must be made prior to the ensuing face-off, which is done. May the team substitute for the replacement goalkeeper with the original goalkeeper during the following play?

Response: No. Rule References 205 (e) and 203 (c). In this situation, the original goalkeeper may not return to the ice until the next stoppage of play.
