Game Play:

Puck drop to start each period

ALL AGE GROUPS ARE NON-CONTACT

Penalties: Penalty Shot by offended player with the rest as chasers, Offender must leave ice and go to back of bench for remainder of shift.

Offsides: When play is offside, ref will call it and blow whistle, offending team must clear center ice red line before re-engaging.  Defending team can play puck as soon as they get possession from inside their blue line.

U9 - No Offsides

U11 - No Offsides

U13 to U20 - Floating blue line rule (once puck gains the blue line, the offensive zone extends to center ice)

Goals: Scoring team must have all players be clear of their own side of the center ice red line at the same time before re-engaging in offensive end of center ice.

Goalie Save & Cover: All offensive players must be clear of the blue line at the same time before re-engaging.

Puck Out of Play: If hits netting and returns to ice, continue play or follow ref's whistle.  If puck leaves surface, ref will throw a new puck to the side of the ice they believe to be correct and blow the whistle to continue play.

Injury Stoppage: Referee blows whistle, time is stopped, player is checked and returned to back of bench for remainder of shift if able to continue

Missing Players/Injury Fill-ins - This format requires a presence of all players to make lines even as each shift is timed and played against similar levels of competition. Where there are 3 lines per team a player must only play down one line from their designated line.  For example, in U20, a U18 Prep/Zone player playing on Line A can play Line B to fill in for a broken piece of equipment, injury for the shift, missed gameday, etc. But this top line player cannot play on Line C where Recreational Players may be playing. Instead, a Line B player must skate to the bench, tap their stick on the boards, then rejoin the play with Line C.  Line B players will take turns double shifting with Line C.  Line A MUST NOT play with Line C.

Maximum 7 goal differential per game for the purpose of showing on the score clock and in the standings.

Tournament tie-breaker = Head to Head, Differential, Least Penalties, Goals For

Team Creation:

Teams will be made by balancing their current level of play, by our knowledge of their skill in our programs, and by canvasing hockey networks.  If there are grossly evident imbalances at the player level, adjustments may be made during or after the first game of the tournament.
