Series Rules

Tournament Format

Note regarding Sunday games for the Intermediate/U19 Level:
The Gold and Bronze Game teams will be as above. If teams had played each other in the round robin, they would still play each other in the medal games. For games 5th-12th, in an effort to provide the teams with the opportunity to play teams they may not have played in the round robin series, where possible, an alternate format will be followed.

Game Lengths
15-15-15 minute periods with a 3-minute warm up prior to the game. NOTE: Overtime will be played in round robin games if tied after regulation time.

Overtime
If the game is tied after regular play, a 3-minute (stop time), sudden victory period played 4 on 4 plus goalies will occur. Teams will not switch ends. If a penalty is called, the teams will play 4 on 3. If a second penalty is called against the same team, the teams will play 5 on 3 and could play 5 on 5 or 5 on 4 if penalties expire during play. If this occurs, the teams will play 5 on 5 or 5 on 4 until the next whistle then revert back to 4 on 4 or 4 on 3. NOTE: 2 points for a win in OT and 1 point for a loss in OT. If still tied after OT, both teams receive 1 point.
