Light the Lamp Hockey - Simsbury League: Rules

Team Jerseys

If there is a conflict between two teams wearing similar colored jerseys, the captains of each team will decide prior to warm-ups which team will change jersey color.

 

Timeouts

Each team will be permitted one 30 second time out per game.

 

Icing

Icing will be initiated from the defending blue line

Hybrid icing will be called for all games.  (Excerpt from NCAA 2015 Rulebook Below)

 

 

Faceoff Locations

Following a penalty the faceoff will be located in the offending team’s defensive zone.

Faceoffs will only occur at any of the nine (9) faceoff spots.

 

Game Length / Time Keeping

Games will be three (3) fifteen (15) minute periods of stop time. Between periods teams will be given a chance to rest and strategize. At the referee(s) signal the next period will begin.

 

If during any period the goal differential reaches eight (8) or more, the clock will run continuously. Any time the goal differential becomes less than eight the game time will revert back to stop time.

 

At the referee(s) discretion the clock will run if a player refuses to leave the ice and/or bench area after a game misconduct / ejection from a game.

 

Forfeits

If a team cannot field an adequate number of players (5 players and a goalie or 6 players) for their scheduled game that team’s captain must notify Light the Lamp Hockey LLC and the opposing team’s captain not less than six (6) hours prior to the scheduled game time.

 

A team which forfeits is required to pay the full cost for the ice, referee(s) and score keeper of the forfeited game.  If the opposing team chooses to use the ice the regular fee schedule will apply.  Forfeited games will be scored 1-0 in favor of the non-forfeiting team.  If players choose to use the ice during forfeiture, referee(s) will not be present.

 

Overtime

Regular Season

A best 3 shootout will be completed should the score be tied at the end of regulation.  If the score remains tied a sudden death format shootout will continue until a winner has been determined. The home team will determine whether they go first or second.

 

Playoffs

One five minute overtime period will be played under regular season rules.  If the score remains tied after the overtime period a best of 3 shootout will determine the game as described above.
