Scorekeepers

Midwest Sport Hockey Rules

• These rules are not negotiable. Failure to comply can result in your ejection from the tournament without refund and could keep us from having any tournament again in the future.
• NO ALCOHOL/DRUGS OF ANY KIND MAY BE BROUGHT ONTO THE PREMISES! THERE WILL BE BEER FOR PURCHASE TO BENEFIT BE THE MATCH, SO PLEASE DON’T UNDERMINE THE PROCESS BY BRINGING YOUR OWN ONTO THE PREMISES.
• If you show (as a player or spectator) that you cannot handle your alcohol, you will be ejected from the tournament and building and you will not receive any type of refund on any money you have spent. Do not get so inebriated that you become a danger to yourself or anyone else on the rink or in the building. Also, you must conduct yourself in a respectful manner, on or off the rink. This will be strictly enforced.

Game Rules

• Each game will consist of two 15 minute (running clock) periods.
• The clock will only stop during the last minute of games which are either tied or within 1 goal.
• The referees will be given latitude to determine if the clock should stop for any other reason (puck out of play, injuries, etc.).

Time outs

• Time outs are not allowed in round robin games.
• One 60 second time out is allowed per team per playoff game.

Puck out of play

• The whistle will be blown and play will be stopped if the puck touches the high netting above the glass at either end of the rink.
• For the sake of clarity, the whistle will be blown and play will be stopped if the puck touches anything above the boards or glass.

Penalties

• Regular house league penalties will be called during the tournament.
• Players will serve the appropriate amount of time in the penalty box as determined by the officials.
• Fighting will not be tolerated. The referees will have the power to eject any player from a game for any reason (not just fighting). If this happens, you are done for the night and you will not receive any type of refund.

Tied Games

• Round robin games ending in a tie will remain a tie.
• Playoff games ending in a tie will immediately go to a 3 man NHL style shootout to determine a winner.
• All players except for the current shooter and the goaltenders must remain completely inside their bench during the shootout.
• Each shooter should immediately go to the scorer’s table after their shootout attempt and tell the scorekeeper their name.

Prizes and Awards

• During the next day or two after the tournament, all players should text or e-mail Jason Miller (jasonmillersrh@charter.net) their choices for tournament MVP and Most Outstanding Goaltender.
• All players will be informed of the results of the voting as soon as possible.
