The National Hockey League rules are the rules governing the play of the National Hockey League (NHL), a professional ice hockey organization. Infractions of the rules, such as offside and icing , lead to a stoppage of play and subsequent face-offs , while more serious infractions lead to penalties being assessed to the offending team.
In this diagram, the red team is executing a neutral zone trap resulting in the blue team dumping the puck in. The neutral zone trap (often referred to as simply the trap) is a defensive strategy used in ice hockey to prevent an opposing team from proceeding through the neutral zone (the area between the blue lines) and to force turnovers.
The rule was aimed at reducing the effectiveness of goaltenders with good puck-handling abilities, such as New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur, for whom the rule is nicknamed. The area consists of a centred, symmetrical trapezoid. The bases of the trapezoid are formed by the goal line and the end boards.

The NHL's rule book is the basis for the rule books of most North American professional leagues. The IIHF, amateur and NHL rules evolved separately from amateur and professional Canadian ice hockey rules of the early 1900s. [1] Hockey Canada rules define the majority of the amateur games played in Canada.
The National Hockey League (NHL) and International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) apply similar rules for determining offside. A player is judged to be offside if both of their skates completely cross the blue line dividing their offensive zone from the neutral zone before the puck completely crosses the same line.
In calculus, the trapezoidal rule (also known as the trapezoid rule or trapezium rule) [a] is a technique for numerical integration, i.e., approximating the definite integral: (). The trapezoidal rule works by approximating the region under the graph of the function f ( x ) {\displaystyle f(x)} as a trapezoid and calculating its area.
