About The Penalty Box
Every rink has a little glass-walled bench off to the side where the guilty sit, skates dripping, staring at the clock while their teammates scramble. The NHL's minor penalty is two minutes, and the league has used penalty boxes since its first season in 1917. The crowd always has an opinion about whether the call was fair, and the player inside gets to watch someone else take his shift.
