Choice of Ends: Shall be determined by toss of coin before play begins. Teams change ends at the beginning of the second period. Duration of Play: Regular season: two 15-minute halves with a five-minute intermission between halves. Time will be running time except for last two minutes of second half. Time will begin when the puck touches the ice on the face-off. During the last two minutes of the second half, the clock stops after goals, after a penalty, after an icing call, and after any other time that the referee designates Penalty time will be kept on a separate clock which will stop for penalties, after goals, and any other time that the referee so designates. Each team will be expected to have one representative in the timers box to run the game clocks and keep score. During regular season play, ties will stand - there will be no overtime periods. PLAYOFF GAMES: For playoff games only, in the event of a tie game after regulation time, over time will proceed as follows: [Tie games will stand during regular season.] [a] An unlimited time [running time] sudden death period. Scoring: Puck must pass completely across goal line. If the puck was last touched by a defending player before it entered the cage, the goal is allowed, regardless of the manner in which the puck was caused to enter the cage except that if an attacking player propels the puck other than with his stick, or, illegally, with his stick, and it bounds or deflects off the person or equipment of the goal- keeper or any other defensive player, the goal shall NOT be allowed. An attacking player may score a goal when the puck was last touched by his stick, and then only if the blade of the stick was not more than four feet off the ice. If the puck shall have been deflected into the goal from the shot of an attacking player by striking any part of the person of a player from the same side, a goal shall be allowed. The player who deflected the puck shall be credited with the goal. The goal shall not be allowed if the puck has been kicked, thrown or otherwise deliberately directed into the goal by any means other than a stick. NOTE: If the puck is between the goal keeper's pads or lodged in his equipment and is carried over the line by an opponent pushing the goalkeeper into the cage, the goal is not allowed, but if it is so carried over by a team-mate pushing the goalkeeper, or if the goalkeeper, himself propels it over the goal line, the goal is allowed. A goal shall not be allowed if: l] The puck hits an official and goes directly into the net. 2] Any member of the attacking team [other than the player in possession of the puck] was in or skating through the crease when the goal was made from outside the crease, unless the goalkeeper was outside the crease when the play was made, in which case, the goal is allowed Substitution: Substitution may take place at any time, provided player[s] coming off the ice are out of play and in the immediate area of the bench before new players are on the ice. When a penalized player or his immediate substitute, either from the penalty box or the player's bench, return to the ice he shall not be eligible to play any puck coming from his own defensive zone until he has returned to his own defensive zone or until the puck has been played by another player in the neutral zone or in the attacking zone of the penalized player. Face-Offs: The two players facing off should be approximately one stick length apart and with the blades about 24" apart. The entire blade of the stick of each player must be on the ice and entirely on the same side of the spot or place where the puck is to be dropped as his own goal. All other players must be near their own end of the rink than the face-off spot and must be at least ten feet from said spot. Center Face-Off: l] At the start of each period and after a goal has been scored. 2] When referee accidentally signals play to stop. Last Play Face-Off: 1] When a player causes the puck to leave the rink from his defensive zone or the neutral zone or he or his stick was last to touch it before it left the rink from these zones. 2] A player in the Neutral Zone commits a foul while the puck is in that zone. 3] Play becomes stalled in Neutral Zone. 4] A player passes, carries or shoots the puck into his attacking zone from the Neutral Zone or his Defensive Zone when a team mate is in his Attacking Zone. 5] Play is stalled by two opposing players in any zone. 6] Play is stopped because of injury or accident to, or illness of a player when the puck is in his Defensive Zone or the Neutral Zone. 7] Fouls are called simultaneously on two players of the same team in their Defensive Zone or the Neutral Zone. 8] Fouls are committed by both teams. 9] A player leaving the penalty box or his immediate substitute leaving the penalty box or the player's bench plays a puck which came from his own Defensive Zone before it has been played by another player in the Neutral Zone or his Attacking Zone or before he has returned to his own Defensive Zone. 10] A stick or puck is thrown on the ice. 11] The puck strokes an overhead obstruction. Zone Line Face-Off: 1] 2] 3] 4] 5] 6] 7] An attacking player commits a foul while the puck is in his Attacking Zone. An attacking player stands in the opponent's crease while the puck is in possession of a team mate [not in the crease] unless the goalkeeper is outside the crease. An attacking player in his attacking zone causes the puck to leave the rink as he or his stick was the last to touch it before it left the rink from this zone. The puck leaves the rink for any unnatural reason [under the boards at end, etc.] Play is stopped because of injury or accident to, or illness of a player of the attacking team when the puck is in his attacking Zone. Any stoppage of play is caused by the attacking team in its Attacking Zone including causing puck to become lodged in the outside of the goal cage net except as otherwise specified. The puck enters the cage but goal is not allowed. Special Spot Face-Off: 1] 2] 3] 4] 5] Icing. If in the opinion of the Referee an intentional offside has been made [other end]. Defensive Stalling occurs. A goal cage is unintentionally displaced. A defensive player causes the puck to become lodged in the outside of the goal cage net. Defensive Zone Face-Offs: 1] 2] 3] 4] 5] 6] A defending player commits any foul. A defending player causes the puck to leave the rink or he or his stick was last to touch it before it left the rink. Play of the puck is stalled by opposing players. The goalkeeper commits any foul within his privilege area. The puck becomes lodged in the outside of the goal net except when caused by the attacking team. A penalty shot has been tried but not made. Any other face-off in the Defensive Zone shall occur at the nearest spot along the two imaginary lines parallel to the side boards and extending from the special spot to the Zone lines. If the puck hits an official, play shall not be stopped unless the puck goes directly into the goal net. Special No-Contact Rule: In Intramural Ice Hockey there is NO checking or primary contact. The only contact that is allowed is "incidental" contact. Incidental contact will be interpreted as being contact of a non-intentional, secondary nature. Thus, there shall be no charging, roughing, elbowing or kneeing, pushing from behind, cross- checking, tripping or slashing with the stick, jabbing with either end of the stick, tripping with leg or foot. PENALTY: minor. If contact is deemed "flagrant" player is subject to game misconduct resulting in immediate ejection together with being ineligible for team's next contest. [See section titled "Flagrant Fouls."] Playing The Puck: The puck may be played or stopped with the stick when the blade of the stick is not more than four feet off the ice: if a puck is touched by a stick when the blade of the stick is more than four feet off the ice, a slow whistle shall be in order unless the puck is first played by an opponent. PENALTY - Face-off at spot of foul. The puck may be stopped and carried or kick-passed by the skate. It may be stopped by any other part of the body, but not thus carried nor may it be held. It may be stopped by the hand on or off the ice. It may be propelled by the hand or arm, even though in the Crease, along the ice but not thus passed to a team mate. If caught, held, clutched, carried or passed to a team mate by hand or arm, an immediate face-off must follow. It may be batted by the open hand, but the player who batted it must be the first to recover it for his/her team. PENALTY: Face-Off [as provided for earlier]. Zone Play: An attacking player is eligible to play the puck in his Attacking Zone when he propels the puck or it precedes him into that zone, when no team mate was already in that zone. If while both skates are in the Neutral Zone he is in possession and control of the puck, he may precede it into the Attacking Zone. Regarding offsides, the Tag-Up Rule is in effect. This states that offsides shall only be called when an offensive player without the puck enters the offensive zone prior to an offensive player with the puck entering the zone. An offensive player in the offensive zone is allowed to “tag-up” at the Blue Line to avoid an offsides call when the puck leaves the offensive zone and is sent back in. Icing: Should a player shoot the puck from his own Defensive Zone through the Neutral Zone beyond the opponent's goal line, it shall be "icing" the puck and play shall be stopped by the official automatically, as soon as the puck crosses the goal line. Deflection [or tipping] of the puck by players of the team icing the puck before it reaches the goal line extended does not nullify the icing. Icing is nullified and play shall continue when: 1. 2. 3. 4. His/her team has fewer players on the ice than the opposing team. The shot is made from a face-off. The puck touches an opposing player or his equipment before reaching the goal line. A player of the opposing team other than the Goalkeeper is able, in the opinion of the referee, to play the puck before it passes the goal line extended, but does not do so. 5. The puck is played by the goalkeeper anywhere on the rink or enters the cage. PENALTY: Face-off at Special spot in Defensive Zone on side nearer the place from which the shot was made. Intentional Causing Puck to Leave Rink: PENALTY: Minor Goalkeeper's Play: Within the rectangular area bounded in the rear by his end of the rink, in front by an imaginary line connecting the Special Spots, and on the sides by imaginary lines from the Special Spots to the end boards, the Goalkeeper has certain privileges: 1. He may, when the puck is on or off the ice cover or trap it only to prevent an opponent from scoring. If this is done by his person or equipment other than his skates or stick, the official shall immediately signal play to stop. The face-off shall be taken on the nearer Special Spot. 2. In stopping the puck he may catch it, propel or bat it with his hands or stick in any direction. In clearing the puck, he may pick it up, carry it out of the Crease or throw it toward his own end of the rink[but not forward], but in doing these things he shall not hold the puck more than three seconds. PENALTY: Special Spot Face-Off. 3. He may not interfere with an opponent who is not playing the puck. PENALTY: - Minor. Outside the "privilege area" the goalkeeper is covered by the same rules that apply to other players. High Sticks: Carrying sticks above the height of four feet [height of cage] is prohibited. A player may not play the puck with his stick in any manner [either batting or stopping it] when the blade of the stick is more than four feet off the ice. PENALTY - Face-Off - for repeated violations - Minor. PENALTY - For injury by use of stick below four feet - Minor. For injury by use of high stick - Major. For injury from careless use of stick at any height - Major. A player without a stick may participate in the game. A broken stick must be dropped to the ice immediately. A goalkeeper may continue to play with a broken stick until stoppage of play or until he has been legally provided with a stick. PENALTY - Minor. Offensive Interference: Interference with an opponent not playing the puck in the sense of making interference or protection for a team mate by personal contact, is not permitted anywhere under any circumstances. PENALTY - Minor. Defensive Interference: A player, whether in the act of covering or being covered, may never crosscheck, hook, hold, shove, charge or check an opponent. Checking of any kind will not be permitted in Intramural play because of safety reasons. A player may, however, guard, cover or maintain his position against an opponent not playing the puck by standing in front of him , even touching the opponent with some part of the body. PENALTY: - Minor Holding: There shall be no holding of an opponent, or an opponent's stick, with the arm, hand, leg, stick or otherwise, except that it shall be permissible for a player to lift with his stick the stick of an opponent playing or attempting the play, or about to play the puck. But, such lifting of the opponent's stick shall be only momentary and only for the purpose of obtaining the puck or preventing the opponent from playing it. PENALTY - Minor. Preventing Possession of Stick: No player shall kick, throw, hold or knock an opponent's stick for the purpose of keeping it from the possession of an opponent. PENALTY - Minor. Throwing Sticks: PENALTY - If thrown to prevent a goal - Penalty Shot and Minor. If thrown, but not to prevent a goal - Minor. No player shall throw a stick or portion of a stick from the playing surface. It must be dropped immediately. PENALTY - Misconduct. Conduct of Players - Addressing an Official: Only the playing Captain of either team may talk to or confer with a referee. No player shall show disrespect for an official nor when penalized shall fail to go directly to the penalty box.

Note: This does not permit lifting or raising near the handle of an opponent's stick or witH the stick across and against the opponent's body or the raising of the opponent's stick so high that his progress is stopped. It permits lifting an opponent's stick simply as a means of obtaining the puck. Lifting from behind becomes holding if the position of the stick is maintained more than momentarily. The use of the stick, as permitted, does not include the use of a stick in a reversed position, in pressing down against the ice [and thereby holding] the stick of an opponent, who is playing the puck, with a stick held in its usual position is permitted. Flagrant Fouls: Fighting, charging, slashing, spearing, cross checking, boarding or any other flagrant intent to use illegal force to gain an advantage, to retaliate or to cause bodily harm will result in a game misconduct penalty. Such penalty will be cause for the player to be ejected from the game [and rink] with the team forced to skate short handed for three [3] minutes [penalty to be served by alternate player]. Ejected player is prohibited from participating in team's next contest. If a second offense occurs, the player will be barred from that sport for the duration of the season. Abusive Language: No player shall use foul or abusive language to an official either while play is in progress or during an intermission. PENALTY - Misconduct Slow Whistle: In case the puck is in possession of a team in any zone and the opponents commit a foul, the referee shall postpone the stoppage of play because of the commission of such fouls until the offending team shall have possession and control of the puck.
