game + misconduct
A learner who knows 'game' (a sporting contest) and 'misconduct' (improper or unacceptable behavior) can infer that 'game misconduct' refers to improper behavior occurring in a game, so the general idea is compositional. However, the precise, sport-specific meaning — a formal ice-hockey penalty that removes a player for the remainder of play while allowing substitution — is a technical/legalized sense not fully predictable from the parts, so it is only partially transparent.
Etymology
Game misconduct comes from what referees wrote in match reports. When a player did serious bad actions, the official would call that misconduct and mark the player as out of the game, so the term now means a penalty that makes a player 'not return for the rest of the match'.
