There is literally an extra person on the ice. - However, if she has an abortion on the ice, then no, it was never a person. - In the case of an intentional miscarriage on the ice, personhood of the fetus and the legitimacy of the penalty may depend on jurisdiction. - Otherwise, any penalty could be held in potentia until the time of a live birth, in which case the results of the game could be litigated. |

As long as the midget doesn't make contact with the ice. Midget could have a stick and swat at pucks etc (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5744191&forum_id=2...id.#49056765) |

However, a player could go onto the ice with a corpse strapped to his back because it's no longer a person. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5744191&forum_id=2...id.#49056795) |

Teams could also use players hanging above the ice on harnesses to gum things up on defense (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5744191&forum_id=2...id.#49056806) |
