Rules

  1. Teams must have four players. Substituting players mid-game is not permitted. If you have an extra player that wants to play, please contact us as we often have single players who are looking to build a team.
  2. All participants must wear a hockey helmet and full face protector at all times during play. Hockey gloves are also recommended (but not required). Goalies should bring goalie equipment.
  3. Each game is 10 minutes long (straight time), with two 5 minute halves. A face-off at centre starts both halves.
  4. A penalty (length determined by referee) will be assessed to a player for any of the following infractions:
    • Slashing
    • Tripping
    • Body Contact
    • Abusive language
  5. There are no offsides or face-offs. Whistles are only to be blown for infractions and to end both periods.
  6. When a goal is scored, the team scored upon is given centre.
  7. Tied games in the finals 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.
  8. Staff and referees reserve the right to eject anyone, player or spectator, for questionable conduct.
  9. The leaderboard is determined by win percentage, and the tiebreaker is the least goals allowed.
  10. If a team is not present for their game within the first 5 minutes, the game is forfeited, the opponent is rewarded a win and a shutout.

These rules are subject to change. If you have any questions regarding the above rules and regulations, please contact us.
