The 10 minute match penalty has been around forever, its just rarely called.

Its actually a really severe penalty and guarantees a visit with the NHL disciplinary department.

I've only seen it called a handful of times, and its for deliberate intent to injure.

Unlike a game misconduct the minutes show up on the penalty sheet for the player.

The player is ejected as well, and the team has to put a player in the penalty box to serve a major (5 minute penalty).

I got a match penalty in a game, but in my defense the other kid had it coming.
