Diving (also called embellishment, or flopping) is a term used in ice hockey to describe a player trying to get the attention of the referee by embellishing an infraction from an opposing player in an attempt to draw a penalty. Usually, when diving is called, a player from each team receives a penalty, one for diving and the other for the initial infraction, but this is not required.[citation needed]
NHL
[edit]In the National Hockey League (NHL), any player called for diving will receive a 2-minute minor penalty for the infraction.[1]
Players who dive, as well as the coaches of the diving players, may also be additionally fined or cited by the league as supplemental discipline for diving.
| NHL fines for diving/embellishment[citation needed] | ||
|---|---|---|
| Incident number1 | Player fine2 | Coach fine2 |
| 1 | Warning3 (N/A) | Warning3 (N/A) |
| 2 | $2,000 | N/A |
| 3 | $3,000 | N/A |
| 4 | $4,000 | N/A |
| 5 | $5,000 | $2,000 |
| 6 | $5,000 | $3,000 |
| 7 | $5,000 | $4,000 |
| 8+ | $5,000 | $5,000 |
- For coach incident totals, each citation issued to a player on his club counts toward his total.
- All figures are in US dollars.
- Fines only handed out after non-publicized warnings are given to the player/coach for their first offense.
