penalty shot Hockey

• a penalty permitting a designated player of the non-offending team to play the puck from centre ice and take one shot at the opposing goal, all other players except the defending goalkeeper remaining out of the play.

  • 1962  [He] added an even unlikelier goal on a rarely called penalty shot. . . .
  • 1965  For a time I thought the penalty shot would become extinct through lack of application.
