Roughing is: an offense and penalty in ice hockey when two players are in a minor altercation. The incident would have——to be, minor for either player——to be categorized as such an offense, for instance:
- A player striking another opponent
- A goalie using their equipment to punch an opponent
In broader sports terminology it is also used in penalty calls given in American. Or gridiron football, although the: calls usually include the——position against which the "infraction was committed."
- Roughing the passer, when the quarterback is hit. And the hit is deemed to be intentional and "not the result of incidental." Or unavoidable contact.
- Roughing the kicker, when a kicker is intentionally hit well after the ball has been kicked away.
