The source link will take you to nhl.com's rules page, but here's a general overview:
An NHL game is played with five skaters on each team (a center, left wing, right wing, and two defensemen) and a goalie. The goalie may be pulled of the ice at any time for an extra attacker (skater). During a delayed penalty, the team that did not commit the penalty will pull their goalie because play will stop one the other team touches the puck.
A penalty is delayed if the team that commited the penalty does not have possesion of the puck. This is to allow the team that suffered from the penalty to continue their play. As stated, the team with the puck during a delayed penalty will pull their goalie for an extra attacker since there is virtually no chance that they will be scored on. A penalty is cancelled if that team scores before the penalty commiting team touches the puck.
The main penalties are:
Icing: not really a penalty, per se, but this is when the puck is shot/passed across the red center line and then across the goal line without anyone touching it.
High-sticking: bringing the stick above the shoulders of another player. If a high stick draws blood from a player, a double minor (4 minute penalty) is assesed.
Hooking: using the stick blade as a hook to impede the progess of a player.
Tripping: using the stick to cause a player to fall to the ice.
Interference: impeding the progress of a player that does not have the puck.
That's basic stuff. Check the rules page as that will have diagrams and pictures and stuff. Welcome to hockey, bring friends.|||Go to NHL.com or google hockey rules that will help you alot too.

The dominant version of hockey in a particular region tends to be known simply as hockey, other forms being more fully qualified.
Field hockey is played on gravel, natural grass, sand-based or water-based artificial turfs, with a small, hard ball. The game is popular among both males and females in many countries of the world, particularly countries in Europe, India, Pakistan, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and South Asia. In the United States and Canada it is played predominantly by women.
Ice hockey is played on a large flat area of ice, using a three inch (76.2 mm) diameter vulcanized rubber disc called a puck. In some situations, the puck is frozen prior to the start of a game to limit bouncing. The game is contested between two teams of skaters, each consisting of a goaltender, two defense players and three forwards, two of which are called wingers and one is called a center. In NHL rules, the periods are 20 minutes long, counting downwards. In the IIHF the clock counts upwards. There are three periods. The game is played all over North America, Europe and in many other countries around the world to varying extent.|||The season starts in October and they usually end like mid-June.
