Rules
Just a couple of rule points for our American teams and info for Canadian teams.....


 

1. American teams are NOT required to wear neck guards, mouthgaurds or goats beards (goalies) UNLESS they wear them at home....
2. If a player chooses to wear a mouthguard or neck protector, THEY MUST WEAR THEM PROPERLY!!!! (no chewing of the mouthguard, it must be IN their mouth) (a 10 min misconduct penalty will be issued after 1 team warning)
3. American Midget teams may carry 21 players (19 skaters & 2 goalies)
4. Canadian Midget teams may carry 20 players (18 skaters & 2 goalies)
5. Run time will commence in the third period in any game with a 5 or more goal spread and will NOT revert back to stopped time in the event that the 5 goal spread is diminished. Penalties in run time will be Minor penalty - 3 minutes Major Penalty - 7 minutes, Misconducts - 12 minutes
6. In an effort to keep teams from running up the score there is a +5 rule for the tournament when figuring out percentages... IE. Team Canada beats team Sweeden 8-1. The score will be reported on the website as 8-1 for Canada, but when figuring the percentage out for advancement , Canada would be credited with a 6-1 win.......
