Sports for the layperson
What is the “penalty box” in hockey?
Also know as the “sin-bin,” the penalty box is used to house players who have committed penalties. A player in violation of one of hockey’s rules is sent to the penalty box (usually for two minutes, but the amount of time can vary depending on the severity of the penalty) to serve his or penalty while the opposing team has a “power-play.” A power-play is a one or two player advantage.
