    • In hockey, when the umpire points both arms horizontally towards the goal, it indicates a penalty corner.
    • A penalty corner is awarded for certain fouls by the defending team inside their own shooting circle or for intentional fouls outside the circle but within the 23-meter area.

    • Free hit: Indicated when the umpire raises one arm with an open hand, signaling a free hit awarded to a team.
    • Penalty stroke: Signaled by the umpire pointing towards the penalty spot, awarding a direct chance to score from the penalty spot.
