Teams will consist of a maximum of 7 registered players. Four players (including the goalie) are allowed on the playing surface during play. All player substitutions are made on the fly. Playing surface is to be 60’ by 85’, set up in the blue line area running sideways of the arena; nets are regulation size ice hockey nets.

You can not be turning the age over the division on or before the May 19th date of the tournament. The tournament clock manages all games. There is no grace period for the start of games and if a team is late for the start, they forfeit the game. Games will not be rescheduled. You must start a game with minimum 4 players including the goalie, no substitutions from roster handed in at the start of the tournament. Each playing surface will have one Game Official who has full authority on governing the game and monitoring play and one Game Scorekeeper who will record the start and finish of each game and also be responsible for keeping track of the number of goals.
ALL CALLS MADE BY GAME OFFICIALS ARE FINAL AND ALL ISSUES AND DISPUTES WILL BE HANDLED BY THEM.
There will be no tie games. The team that scores the most will be declared the winner. Tied games will result in a sudden death shoot-out, whereby one shot is given to three players from each team in turn on each team until the tie is broken. If still tied after the 3 players then it goes to a sudden death one for one player shoot out. If the ball goes out of bounds, possession of the ball is given to the non-offending team at the point of exit; i.e., last touch loses possession. Assigned officials will have extra balls. Minor infractions/penalties include the following: shoving, pushing, tripping, slashing, elbowing, etc. Slap shots are permitted.
