A line change is when a group of players on the ice goes to the bench for a rest while another group of players replaces them in the game.
An official must make sure the line changes happen quickly and smoothly.
Once both teams have had 5 seconds to make line changes, no players can leave the bench. Any players attempting to leave are in violation of the line change procedure. Send the offending player back to the bench and warm the team that any other line change violations will result in a Bench Minor.
