Each team will play each other over 2-3 hours of ice time. Games are Half Ice (red line down to goal line) using boards on the red line. All games use blue pucks and 36” by 48” Nets.

HOME and AWAY Teams: Home team wears light jerseys, Away team wears dark jerseys. Coaches may coordinate with other teams and adjust if it makes sense to minimize jersey changes. Half Ice games: One official per side Faceoffs: Faceoffs occur at center ice only at the start of the game. Line Changes: Players will change at the buzzer at the 90-second mark. The puck should be placed in a 50/50 corner before play starts. No player should get a breakaway off a line change and if they do their goal does not count. Officials may blow down the play and deem a faceoff, if necessary. Puck out of Play: Officials should have extra puck in pocket to put in the nearest corner of play. If the official does not have extra puck, they will retrieve the puck and put the puck into play at the nearest corner to create a 50/50 battle. Goalie Cover or Goal: Offensive team must back off from goalie to halfway, so the defensive team can get the puck from goalie. Defensive team takes the puck around the back of the net.
