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
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.
