"It is pretty common for referees at all levels of hockey, from the beginners to the NHL, to give hand signals when doling out penalties. But the practice that was started back in the 1930s by Bill Chadwick came about purely by accident."

Well he is the inventor of using hand signals in the NHL to call penalties.

I don't know, but I put them all together into a dance once, to prove to one of my friends that all movement can be dance. That was awesome.
