At no time will a team have fewer than 3 skaters (plus goalie) on the ice 

************************

Teams will play 4 on 4 plus goalies.  Players may be changed at any time. Goalies may be “pulled” at any time and a substitute player from the bench may be used.

Penalties do NOT expire at the end of regulation time.

If still tied, a shootout will occur.

Each team MUST designate 3 shooters (S1, S2, S3) on the game sheet BEFORE the start of the game.

Any player(s) serving a penalty at the end of overtime will not be eligible to participate in the shootout and MUST remain in the penalty box.  The coach must designate a shooter(s) to take her place(s) immediately at the end of regulation time.

All players except shooter and goalies will be on the bench TO START

Shooters from both teams will shoot at the same time starting at the centre ice red line. 

Once a player has shot, they will go directly to the penalty box.

This is a BEST OF 3 Shootout.

If still tied, each team will designate one shooter at a time until there is a winner. 

A player may not shoot for a second time until all players on the game sheet signed (except goalies) have shot.

A penalty assessed in regular time will carry forward to the overtime period.  Therefore, the player will not come out of the box.
