3. The Rink

The ice surface is divided into 3 sections. Games are played at each end from the blue line to the end boards and cross-ice.
The neutral zone acts as a player's bench as well as the coaches and officials area.
Across each blue line will be a barrier to help keep pucks in play.
Nets will be placed approximately 4 feet from the side dasher boards.

4. Rules

No checking (all divisions)
Penalties result in a penalty shot from “center ice: for the offended team.
The five players not taking the penalty shot may back check the shooter starting from the far boards on the referee’s whistle. Once the penalty shot has been taken, a face off takes place if a goal is scored. If a goal is not scored, the puck is live and play continues.
Face-offs are only held after goals are scored.
Change on the fly is a form designated “change zone” only. This area, approximately from the neutral zone face off dots to the boards, acts as the player’s bench.
If a puck leaves the playing area, the referee determines which team caused the stoppage. The puck is then given to the other team in the area the puck was lost. The team not given the puck must back up a reasonable distance before they can challenge the puck carrier.
If a shot of goal results in the goalie “covering” the puck, the puck is given to the defending team and play is resumed. The team not given the puck must back up to at least half ice before they can challenge the puck carrier.
No overtime and no time outs.
Standing will not be kept or posted.
Game scores will not be kept.
