penalty boxes
Hockey timeout seats
Penalty boxes are enclosed areas where players serve time penalties in hockey and similar sports.
A penalized player sits in the box, leaving their team shorthanded until the penalty expires: Both penalty boxes were full after the brawl.
Figuratively, being in the penalty box means being in temporary disgrace or disfavor.
