Power play
(This is also a psychology relating to relational behavior strategies.)
A power play is awarded to a hockey team when a player on the opposing team commits a foul. The offending player is temporarily removed from the game, giving his team a penalty.
A power play can last two or five minutes depending on the severity of the foul. Players may also be assessed two consecutive two-minute penalties, which could result in a four-minute power play. A two-minute power play ends when the advantaged team scores.

In rugby league, power play refers to the act of running the ball on fifth tackle instead of kicking it.
