Hello! How can I help you today?<|im_end|>

I'm watching an ice hockey game and I'm not sure about some of the penalties. What's a hooking penalty?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Hooking is a penalty when a player uses the blade of their stick to hook another player's leg, arm, or body to slow them down or pull them off balance.<|im_end|>

That makes sense. What about high sticking? <|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
High sticking is when a player makes contact with an opponent above the shoulders with the blade of their stick. It can be a major or minor penalty, depending on the severity of the contact.<|im_end|>

Okay, got it. Are there any other common penalties I should know about?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Yes, some other common ones include tripping, holding, and interference. But if you're new to watching hockey, those two you asked about are a good starting point.<|im_end|>
