Team and Game Format
-
On-Ice 3 skaters plus a goalie on ice for each team
-
Roster of minimum of 6 skaters plus 1 goalie per team.
Rules during play:
-
Goalies can play the puck anywhere on the ice
-
If the puck comes off the netting above the glass and back into play, play continues
-
Intentional Icing is a penalty and results in a penalty shot and if a player shoots on an empty net from behind center ice and misses, that too is a penalty shot.
-
If the offensive team brings the puck back out of the offensive zone and across the center ice line without interference from the other team, that is a turnover.
-
There is a Clear Zone which includes the area from the face-off dots back to the goal line. Once a goalie makes a save and secures the puck, play is paused, and the goalie resets play. The opponent must be outside the clear zone to enable the possessing goalie/team to restart play which they must do within 10 seconds after defense has cleared the zone.
Penalties
-
No power plays, instead we go straight to a penalty shot. Team Captain can select any player to take the penalty shot
-
Penalty shooter starts at center face-off circle immediately after penalty call
-
All other players must be on the blue line behind the shooter
-
Once penalty shooter begins moving toward net all other players can start back to get into play
-
If goal is scored, or if the goalie stops and freezes puck, then that goalie’s team takes puck out from behind the clear zone (described below)
-
If no goal is scored, and the puck is free, any player from either team can play the puck
Tie Games will remain tie except in playoffs. Playoff tie-breaker consists of
best of 3 player shootout and if still not resolved a sudden death shootout until a winner is determined.
