Teams must have four players: Three players out and one goalie.
Substitution is not allowed.
All participants must wear a CSA approved helmet with full face protection, and hockey gloves at all times during play. Ice hockey equipment is permitted. Goalie pads of any sort are not permitted (goalies may wear normal hockey shin pads).
Each game is 25 minutes long (straight time), with two 12-minute halves. A face-off at centre starts both halves. A 1-minute break will be provided between periods.
Possession: The last player to touch the ball before going out of bounds must forfeit the ball to the opposing team at the point of exit. Ample tennis balls will be made available at each playing site.
A 3-minute penalty will be assessed to a player for any of the following infractions:
- Slashing
- Tripping
- Body Contact
- Slap-shots beyond centre
- Abusive language
When a goal is scored by the opposing team, the penalized team will return to full strength.
No off sides or face-offs. Whistles are only to be blown for infractions and to end both periods.
When a goal is scored, the team scored upon is given centre.
Goalies are not allowed to cross centre.
Tied games will result in a shoot-out, whereby each player is given a shot on net (a total of 3 shots per team) in order to break the tied game. If a tie still exists, then one shot is given to a player in turn on each team until the tie is broken.
Games will not be rescheduled. If a team does not arrive within 5 minutes of game time, they shall default their game.
The site coordinator's word is final!
We reserve the right to eject anyone, player or spectator, for questionable conduct.
