MIDGET HOUSE DIVISION HUBCAP
CUP – 6 TEAM DOUBLE ELIMINATION CHALLENGE - DECEMBER 30th, 2014
RULES & REGULATIONS
ALL TEAMS SHOULD BE AT THE RINK AND READY TO PLAY BY THE DESIGNATED TIME FOR THEIR FIRST GAME. ALL GAMES WILL PROCEED ON
SCHEDULE WITH NO EXCEPTION. SCHEDULE AND TOURNAMENT BRACKET IS ATTACHED AT END OF THIS DOCUMENT.
This is a fun tournament. The “Fair Play” rule is in affect for the entire tournament. Coaches must ensure that all players are rotated equally for the entire game.
Bench coach is to roll lines 3 players at a time. Position is not of any importance – so do not worry about trying to balance defense and forwards……it does not
matter.
The tournament will be a double-elimination format meaning that two losses and you’re out. The attached tournament bracket shows how the tournament will
proceed. Players have to be ready to go on the ice after each 20 minute game. There is only a 5-hour slot to play the tournament and all games have to start
exactly on time. Late comers will not be allowed on the ice. Ice flood/cleaning will be done after every four games.
Games will be of 20-minute duration with an approximate 5-minute break between games. Game play will consist of 3-on-3, run-time play, with 1-minute shift
change buzzer and will be NON-CONTACT hockey. Touch-up offsides and icings will be observed. Attacking team must leave the defending zone for offsides, icing
and goals to allow the defenders to carry the puck out. The puck will be LIVE at all times so it is important that shift changes are done as quickly as possible.
Teams are required to have a minimum of 6 skaters and a goalie. If a team does not have 6 players, the tournament convener will designate a player from one of
the other teams to play for the team that is short.
Penalties: This tournament is meant to be fun for all involved. Although penalties are inevitable, minor penalties will be served by a penalty-shot with a chaser
(offending player) while time continues to run. All major and/or suspendable offences will be observed, with suspensions being served in the next scheduled
game(s). A player incurring a major penalty or otherwise being a nuisance, will be removed from the tournament. Body contact will be deemed a penalty.
The Tournament Convener, whose decision shall be final, shall decide any items not covered in these rules.
