The next penalty we're going to show you is elbowing. The hand signal for the penalty is like this and this happens when you strike an opponent with your elbow. Usually it happens when it's above the shoulders. Now we're going to demonstrate what an elbow penalty looks like. A player with or without the puck is skating you decide to bring your elbow to the face, you're going to be called for elbowing. Also, if you're skating and you just kind of whack your elbow like this up against the player, you're going to be called for elbowing. The same thing can happen to a goalie. If I'm skating by and decide to stick my elbow out as I'm skating by, you're going to be called for elbowing. So, that's the elbowing penalty.
