1. Age Rule:    All players participating in the Tournament must be 60 years of age on the date of their first game.

 

2. Punctuality:   Teams must be ready to start on time or game will be forfeited.

 

3. Equipment:   It is recommended that all players wear at least a half shield/cage to protect their eyes from accidental high sticks or wondering pucks. All goalies should wear either their team sweater or a similarly coloured sweater.

 

4. Rough Play:    Any team displaying unnecessary rough play will be warned once, and if the warning is ignored, the team will be expelled from the tournament. A player who shoulders, pushes or intentionally does not avoid contact with an adversary player will be given a minor penalty (2 minutes).

Players that fight will be assessed a major penalty and will be expelled from the remainder of the tournament and the team will play short-handed for five (5) minutes. If an instigator is identified, a minor penalty (2 minutes) will be assessed.

 Butt ending, spearing, kicking, hitting from behind will result in a player being assessed a match penalty and result in automatic expulsion from the tournament. A major penalty (5 minutes) will be assessed to the team and a player that was on the ice will serve the penalty.

 Any player assessed three (3) minor penalties will be assessed a game misconduct penalty.

Duration of Penalties:

5. NO SLAP SHOTS:  The hockey blade will not be lifted higher than the knee before it is released. If so, play will be stopped and a face off will take place in the offending teams zone.

 

6. Icing touch back:  In order to reduce the number of faceoffs and preserve the flow of the game there will be no icing calls.  Instead, the team that iced the puck must wait outside the blueline until the retrieving team moves the puck out of the defensive zone, beyond the blueline.
