Yeah, I've been watching hockey for 30 years, and I've never heard of most of these. They might be in the rule book, but it kinda kills the fun to have to guess at terms that aren't actually part of the game. Half of these would just be called "unsportsmanlike conduct" or "roughing" in an actual game.

Also leaving the crease is the trapeziod rule, and "attempt to injure isn't a penalty it's going to be no penalty or misconduct and diving is tripping and this doesn't include the equipment penalty

Diving is otherwise known as embellishment aka hockey players pretending to play soccer.

Abuse of officials is grounds for ejection. Calling an official names will generally only get you a bench minor. Leaving the crease is a minor penalty given to goalies if they leave the crease to get involved in an altercation. During a game, when a fight breaks out, the ref will signal to the remaining players to move back toward their bench and will point to the goalie to remain in the crease; failure to listen is a minor penalty. The infraction described in the quiz is a breach of the trapezoid rule which prevents a goalie from playing the puck past the goal or icing line and outside the trapezoid.
