9. If, in the third period, a team is ahead by 5 or more goals, the score clock will be run time. The clock will only stop if there is an injury. The clock will return to stop time once the losing team closes the goal gap to 3 goals. For example: Team 1 is winning 7-2 against Team 2 at the end of the second period. The clock will turn to run time for third period after the initial puck drop. If Team 2 scores a goal and the score is now 7-3, the clock will stay run time. If Team 2 scores another goal and the score is now 7-4, the clock will Stop as soon as that goal is scored and return to stop time for the remainder of the game. If Team 1 scores another goal and the score is now 8-4, it will remain stop time because it isn’t a 5 goal advantage. If Team 1 scores again and the score is now 9-4, the clock will not be stopped and run time will resume. Any minor penalties called during run time will still be 2 minutes and the time will start as soon as the puck is dropped for the ensuing face off after the penalty call. This rule will apply to all games, including the final.
10.
Overtime Procedure: All tied games will be decided by a shoot-out. Coaches will list the first three players to participate in
the shoot-out by numbering them one through three on the game sheet prior to the
shoot-out. Shoot-outs will take place simultaneously from centre ice to each end of the ice. Goaltender cannot be changed
during the shoot-out unless due to injury. Should the score remain tied after the first three players from each team have
shot, the shoot-out will continue in a sudden death format (one shooter scores, the other does not, the scoring team wins).
Coaches will choose from the remaining players on their list. If a team with fewer players exhausts their roster, returning to
the first shooter, the opposing coach has the option of returning to their first shooter at the same time. A player serving a
penalty at the end of the 3rd period will not be eligible to participate in the shoot-out.
11.
Any parent, player, or member of the coaching staff will be ejected (as may the entire team) from the tournament for ANY
act of unsportsmanlike conduct, with no refund.
12.
Lunch and drinks will be provided for all players and coaches in the hall. We ask that players sit together as a team when
lunch is being served. A lunch schedule will be determined on or before your arrival.
Teams are NOT permitted to bring their lunches to the dressing rooms.

Decisions of the Tournament Committee are final.
