1. If the penalties of two players of the same team expire at the same time, the Captain of the team shall designate to the Referee which of the players will return to the ice first, and the Referee shall instruct the Scorekeeper accordingly. 2. When a Major and a Minor penalty are imposed at the same time on two or more players of the same team, the Scorekeeper shall record the Minor penalty as being the first of such penalties. This also applies when the two penalties are imposed on different players (see Rule 501). P 1. “Possession” means that the puck shall have come into the possession of, and has been controlled or intentionally directed by, a player or goalkeeper of the opposing team, or has been frozen.
