Penalty Against the Goalie May 10, 2018 Rule 2 0 Forum Questions In a game a couple years ago between two lower level teams we called a personal foul against Team A's Goalie. We assess the penalty and tell Team A Coach he has 1 minute to warm up his back up. He informs us he doesn't have a back up goalie. As we are talking to the coach explaining that his goalie needs to serve Team B Coach says to just let the in-home serve. The game wasn't close at this point so I think he was just looking to get the game going again. We decided to have the in-home serve. One reason was I felt that fudging the rule in this case was better than asking some kid who has never played goalie before to throw on the equipment and expose himself to injury. How should we have handled this situation?
