League Rules

Last updated: 6-8-2010
(Latest changes in blue.)

  1. Admission to the league is based on the admission rules.
  2. Games consist of three 17 minute periods with a running clock. Stop clock will occur in the last three minutes of the game if the score differential is within three goals.
  3. Icing is allowed after passing your own blue line.
  4. Minor penalties are three minutes.
  5. Substitutions can be made as long as the follow the substitution rules.
  6. Any major penalty or game misconduct will result in at least a one game suspension for the next scheduled game. The next occurrence in the same season will result in at least a two game suspension. (Note that if a player receives a major but no game misconduct in a game then the player can continue playing the current game after serving their penalty. They will then sit out the next game.) Severe actions could result in discipline ranging from multiple game suspensions up to the removal from the league.
  7. The above rule was created so that the commissioner does not have to "investigate" all non minor penalties. If you feel an action warrants more than the minimum penalty then please contact the commissioner.
  8. If a player commits three penalties in one game then the player is out for the rest of the game. They may play the next game as long as none of the three penalties were a major or misconduct.
  9. The commissioner will often move players from team to team in the attempt to balance the teams. This will usually occur before the second half of the regular season starts.
