Definice a Význam "tripping"

What is "tripping"?

Tripping is a penalty in hockey that occurs when a player uses their stick, body, or skates to cause an opponent to fall by hooking or knocking their feet out from under them. This action is dangerous because it can lead to injury, especially if the player falls awkwardly. Tripping is penalized because it interferes with fair play, and the player who commits the penalty is sent to the penalty box for a two-minute minor penalty. The penalty can also be more severe if the tripping is particularly dangerous or intentional.
