Rules and Regulations

Playoff Rules

Each playoff game will consist of three fifteen minute periods. The last two minutes of the third period will be played on a stop-time basis. At the end of regulation time, if the score is tied, there will be a five minute overtime per iod. The overtime period will be played on a non-stop time basis and the first team to score wins the game. If the overtime period ends in a tie there will be a shoot out. Each team is allowed three players who will each shoot once. If at the end of the first rotation there is still a tie, the first go ahead goal scored (after both teams have had the same number of shots), will determine the winner. The goalie who was in net for the majority of the second period and overtime period must continue in net for the shoot-outs. The person who is playing goal may not be one of the chosen shooters.

• No new players may be added to a team during the playoffs.

• A player must have played in at least 25% of regular season play in order to qualify for post season play.

• No player substitutions are allowed in playoff games.
