Bradley you are wrong about offensive goaltending. There is no such animal. Only the defensive cannot touch the ball on a shot. Hope this clarifies the rule.

b - I don't know what rulebook you use, but my NF book clearly states the penalties for both offensive and defensive goaltending. In the definition of goaltending (4-22) it says "...when a player..." - not a "defensive" player, but a "player".

In the violations and penalties section (9-12) it again uses the same language and specifically outlines the penalties for both offensive and defensive goaltending.
