Game Times:
- All games will consist of three 15 minute stop time periods. (NO overtime in round robin)
- There is a 3 minute warm-up at the start of each game, which starts when the Zamboni door closes.
3. All teams must be prepared to start their game 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time. This doesn’t apply for the first game of the day or Playoff games. Games may start early at the discretion of the referees, arena staff and the tournament committee.
4. Floods will be before the game and after the second period.
5. For the Quarter, Semi and Championship games, should it be tied at the end of regulation, there will be one ten (10) minute sudden victory overtime period. Teams will not change ends for this overtime period. Teams will play 3 on 3 during this overtime period. Should a team receive a penalty, the non-offending team will place a fourth player on the ice. After the expiration of the penalty, the offending player will return to the ice. At the next whistle, the teams will return to 3 on 3.
If after the 10 minute overtime period the game remains tied, there will be a shootout. It will be a three player shoot out. If that fails to produce a winning team, it will continue with one player shootout until a winner is decided. During this shootout a different player must take each shot until you have went through your entire roster (excluding goalies).
- Only during Quarter, Semi and Championship games will teams be entitled to one thirty (30) second timeout.
