Rules of Play

Strict adherence to USA Hockey rules is expected by all players and we endorse a "Zero Tolerance" policy for aggression and violence among spectators and players in our leagues! A player's first fight results in game ejection and two game suspension. A player's second fight results in suspension from League for remainder of the season including playoffs.

All games have two on-ice officials and one score keeper. The ten goal mercy rule applies when any team is leading after the second period by more than 10 goals; they are declared the winner. Both teams may use remaining ice time for practice. Penalties expire if the opposing team scores and the clock only stops for legitimate injuries or official time-outs. Players will be asked to check in and show identification at the start of each game. Teams with illegal or non-registered players forfeit the game.

A helmet and full face mask are required at all times!
