• Scores will be kept for each game but not posted.
• Buzzer every 1:30 for shift change

Section Three: Rules of Play
• All games will be NON-BODYCHECKING.
• Face-offs will occur only at the beginning of each period
• When play is stopped due to the goalie controlling the puck, a whistle will signal the
attacking players to vacate the zone. Once all the attackers have exited the zone, the
players may re-enter to resume play immediately. They may not challenge the
opposition until they have all exited the zone.
• There is no center-ice (red) line, and therefore no icing calls or offside passes.

to signal the end of each shift.
• Bench doors MUST remain closed until the sound of the buzzer.
• Once the buzzer sounds, players must relinquish control of the puck immediately and
vacate the ice. The new players may enter onto the ice surface immediately.
• In the case of a shortened bench due to injury or ejection(s), at the sound of the buzzer
all players must make contact with the bench boards; the double-shifted player(s) may
then rejoin the action after having touched the bench boards
Section Five: Coaches, Managers
• Up to (3) three coaches, assistants or trainers may be on the benches. All bench
personnel must be rostered with and have proper CEP certification.
• Coaches are required to make every effort to ensure EQUAL ICE TIME for all
