League Rules

•    USA Hockey Adult Rules will be instituted, with few exceptions.

•    All players must be USA Hockey registered and submit number or form to the League Director prior to first week.

•    No checking, change on the fly, and slap shots allowed.

•    Blue line icing - The farthest blue line will be used for calling icing.

•    There will be a 10 minute pregame warm-up.

•    We will play three 24 minute running clock periods. 

•    If the score is within one goal in the final three minutes, we will proceed with a stop clock. (losing team will then assume responsibility of stopping/starting clock)

•    If the score tied at end of game, 3 player shootout, home team shoots first, if still tied after 3 player shootout, sudden death (first goal wins)

•    Penalties will be three minutes starting with the drop of the puck on ensuing faceoff.

•    Fighting/Game Misconduct -- there is a zero tolerance with fighting or penalties resulting in a Game Misconduct.  No refunds will be allowed for game suspensions:
 --  1st Fight/Game Misconduct- one game suspension
 --  2nd Fight/Game Misconduct- suspension from the league for the rest of the session

•    Substitute Players/Refunds -- No substitute players will be allowed to play for a team unless circumstances agreed upon by the League Director.  Those circumstances would be a session ending injury, an unplanned job days/hours change or relocation, or if agreed upon with the League Director.  The substitute player would then pay a prorated rate for the remaining games and the exiting player would receive a refund of that same amount minus Pay Pal service charges if payment was made with Pay Pal.

•    Substitute Goalies -- goalies will need to find a replacement goalie or notify League Director that a substitute goalie is needed for a game.

•    Five minors will exclude a player from further participation in that game.

•    Major penalties that carry game misconducts will be subject to a suspension and treated the same as a Fighting major.

•    Match penalties will result in a immediate suspension from the league for the rest of the session

•    Player shortages -- If one team is missing two or more players more then the other team, the team with the least amount of players will trade a player(s) of even strength to even out the teams.  Both captains will decide and agree on player trades.

•    Each team will have a captain for on-ice and pre-game responsibilities. The captain's responsibilties are:
--  Insure he/she has enough players present for the game, if not, the opposing team will
give an equal strength player(s) to other team as decided by the captains
--  Maintain control of players during game and discuss penalties with officials
--  Insure players are maintaining normal shifts (shifts should average no more then 1.5 to 2    minutes)
