Rules & requirements
- All players must be registered and waiver completed prior to their first session.
- A minimum of 12 skaters and 2 goalies is needed for a section to run. Section enrollment will close when a maximum of 20 players and 2 goalies are registered (for each end).
- 3–4 skaters from each team are in the area of play during each shift. This format opens up the play and promotes creativity with the puck. The smaller cross-ice playing area also forces the players to make quick decisions while reading and reacting to the action.
- The sessions are 1 hour in duration. The clock will run, nonstop, with the buzzer sounding to designate a line change. Players change on the fly, creating transition speed. As a result, the shifts are played at a high intensity. With limited time spent at rest, this format also promotes conditioning for each athlete.
- There are no off-sides, icings, and no whistles to stop the continuous flow of play. As a goal is scored, a new puck is shot into the area of play and the game resumes.
- Penalties will be enforced. If a player commits an infraction, the penalty will be served during their next full shift, resulting in his/her line playing short handed for the entire time (buzzer to buzzer). If a foul is deemed intentional (causes an injury or potential for injury), the offending player can be removed from the game. Depending on severity, the player can be suspended for the remainder of the program without refund.
- Staff will be on the ice, at the benches and in the playing surface to assist, instruct and monitor.
