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.
