Yellow card

A card given out by the umpire, which suspends the offending player for at least five minutes, but depending on the referee's ruling on the harshness of the foul, the penalty could be longer. That player's team will then play short-handed. A Yellow Card is given out for intentional fouls, such as rough play or stick checks.
