HOW TO PLAY ICE HOCKEY

HOW TO PLAY ICE HOCKEY?

All bets exclude overtime/shootouts unless otherwise stated (all markets listed as ‘including overtime’ will include shootouts). In the event of a game being decided by a penalty shootout, then one goal will be added to the winning team's score and the game total for settlement purposes. This does not apply to markets that exclude overtime/shootouts if played.

Basic Rules

• All Leagues: Games are 30-minute straight play. The clock will start at game time.
• No over-time during the regular season; tie games will be recorded as such.
• No slap shots (shots taken from above the waist) at all - not during warm-ups or games.
• Offside & icing is called in the Granite League only. No offside in Green, Moosilauke or Women's Leagues.

Goals

• A goal is scored when a member of the attacking side propels the puck with his/her stick completely across the goal line inside the net posts.

Penalties

·         Minor penalties, 90 seconds: e.g. tripping, holding, interference, slap shots.

·         Major penalties, 5 minutes: e.g.  body checking, spearing, flagrant fouls, butt ending.

• Misconduct penalties, 10 minutes: e.g.  abusive language, disrespect of the officials, actions that incite or bait opponents.

Overtime Rules

Overtime will only be played during the playoffs. In the event of a tie at the end of regulation, there will be two sudden death overtime periods played, with a shootout if no team scores.

Golden Goal Overtime: In the first overtime period there will be a 1:00 minute running clock and teams will play 4v4 (3 skaters and 1 goalie). If no goal is scored in this time period, the clock is then reset and 1 skater is removed from the ice for a 3v3 1:00 minute period. If neither team scores in these overtime periods, a shootout will then take place.

Shootout: Each team selects their three shooters. These three are the team's shooters for the remainder of the overtime
