5x5 or 4x4 after matching penalties

Thanks for responding RefWEB. I've been wanting to dig into the NCAA rulebook to figure this out but haven't had the time.

I'm Canadian, so I had to dig in the NCAA book to find the answer

You mean Canadians aren't born with an innate knowledge of hockey rules from all over the world?

Canadians are born with an innate knowledge of the only rulebook that matters

Just like every American is born completely understanding the OBR

Some things are the same regardless of borders.

I saw an interesting play in an AHL game I went to on Sunday. Visiting team
B2 throws an elbow that gets called by the referee. Just after the whistle,
A19 comes in and shoves B2 and they get in each other's face.

The zebras get everyone separated and assess a minor for elbowing to B2, and then a minor to B2 and A19 for unsportsmanlike conduct. B2, another visiting player and A19 are all sent to the sin bin and the home team is on the powerplay. Home team scores on the power play and everyone is released from the penalty box.

I get that B2 is released after the goal but I would have thought that the two serving the unsportsmanlike conduct penalties would have stayed. Obviously I need to read up on the rules a little more.
