Correct Call:	Hold	
For this NOT to be a penalty:	There needs to be no more than equal pressure. The defender’s stick would need to release before the attackman gets pulled backward	
Game Level:	This should be called at every level.	

Correct Call:	No call. The black team’s player falls down, but does not create the trip. What creates the trip is the white team’s player running into the downed player.
For this to be a penalty:	There would need to be a flagrant/purposeful act to get the white player to trip.
Game Level:	This should be called at every level.

Correct Call:	In high school and youth the shaft of the Defenders cross shouldn’t be resting on the Attack’s neck. If it is there momentarily then we have nothing. If there is a punching motion and this directly contacts at the head/neck than this is a minimum of a 2 minute non-releasable foul. If there is no punch/thrust than most likely we have a 30 second hold.
For this not to be a penalty:	No thrust, puncher hold and the stick is there there momentarily.
Game Level:	This should be called at every level.

Correct Call:	Hold. 30 second technical foul.
For this not to be a penalty:	Defenseman needs to hold the opponents cross with equal pressure.
Game Level:	This should be called at all levels.

Correct Call:	No penalty. Legal check on the stick that drags player to ground.
For this to be a penalty:	The stick would need to hold more on the body or neck.
Game Level:	This could be called a penalty on lower tiered games. But never on higher level games.

Correct Call:	Hold. 30 seconds technical foul. Penalty is wiped out because of the goal.
For this to not be a penalty:	The stick needs to be below the neck and above the waist while applying only equal pressure.
Game Level:	This should be called at all levels.
