A colloquial expression used to describe a situation in a game where multiple penalties are called in rapid succession, resulting in a series of players from both teams being sent to the penalty box. It often creates a chaotic and disruptive atmosphere on the ice, as teams play with fewer skaters due to the penalties. A penalty parade can have a significant impact on the outcome of a hockey game, as it provides opportunities for teams to swing momentum in their favor through effective power-play or penalty-killing performances.
