Rules Reminder

We had a recent Meeting to discuss Overtime and length of games. The team reps decided that the current format should stay in place for time being. They have asked that I make everyone more aware of how it should go. Please READ & Understand, there will be a quiz!

Overtime- Regular Season

If after the end of the third period the score is tied, there will be a one minute intermission, a 3-minute, stop-time, 4-on-4 sudden death period will be played to determine a winner. All penalties incurred during the third period of regulation time will be in effect. All power-play situations will be played 4-on-3. Once the penalty expires, teams will play 4-on-4 until the next stoppage in play. Note that if a player incurs a penalty that has not expired during the overtime, they will be INELIGIBLE to participate in the shootout.

If still tied, a Shootout will be played following USA Hockey rules for Penalty Shots (rule 406,a, b). Goalies shall remain in position and teams will not switch ends for the shootout. All players not participating in the shootout must be seated on their respective team benches at all times.
Starting with the first shooter for the visiting team and alternating home and visitor thereafter, a penalty shot shall be awarded to each of Three players from each team, as designated by their respective team captain. We ask that each team rotate through their roster so that all unique players are used for the Shoot-outs.

Goaltenders and players who were assessed a game misconduct; gross misconduct or match penalty during the game are ineligible to serve as shooters. The team captains do not have to name their three shooters or their shooting order prior to beginning of the shootout. Each captain will send his next shooter out after the previous shooter has returned to the bench. After all six players have taken their shots, the team with the most goals wins. Regardless of the number of goals in a shootout, the final score shall be recorded as one goal more than the score at the end of regulation play. The winning team will get two points and the losing team will get one point. If after all six players have taken their penalty shots and the game is still tied, the game will be considered a tie with each team receiving one point.

And, also this from the Philosophy section. ...Most Important Part!

Philosophy

The emphasis of our league is on enjoyment and exercise, stressing safe play over competitiveness. Each of us, leaving the ice returns to work, family, and friends. We have yet to spot an NHL scout in the rink, so our philosophy is to encourage fun and work up a sweat. We are hoping to foster among our members a club and community spirit.

We expect you to model respect at all times to other players and officials. Behaviors such as talking back to referees, escalating situations, body checks, high sticks, or an intent to injure are not welcome in our league and "No Tolerance" rules must be abided by to the highest degree. If you receive a penalty, you are expected to go straight to the penalty box! NO PENALTY OR CALL BY THE REFEREE IS PERMITTED TO BE ARGUED by anyone. If there is a question about a call, wait until there is stoppage to discuss the matter in a calm and ADULT-like manner.

· Fighting can bring immediate ejection from the league

· Any excessive contact penalties will result in an extra 10 minute Misconduct

· Hand-shake after the game is more than suggested

· Whining is just not tolerated...we'll think of something...maybe a forced contribution to a League Refreshment fund

"Fun Police"

Many of our lifelong members have taken a sincere interest in helping me preside over our expanding league. Stew Hatchell hatched the idea and it was voted in to have a discipline committee take care of overseeing that our I.B.Old Rules and Philosophy are upheld to keep the league operating with the same ideas it was founded on. He has assembled a good group of fellow members, voluteering to keep everyone reminded that it is a priviledge to be a member here participating in a no-nonsense Hockey Club.

The F-Troop guys will be patroling the neighborhood and drafting a few guidelines. Please share your thoughts on any good ideas you might have in keeping this to just a fun night out.

Thanks,

Chris Becker

I.B.Old Commissioner
