Tournament rules:

We will be playing rules adopted by the NDAHA and USA Hockey. Please be familiar with these rules. The rules include running time on the clock if there is a six goal lead or more in the third period. The clock will be stopped only for an injury or for penalties to be placed on the clock and resumed to run time after the dropping of the puck. If during the third period, the goal spread becomes less than six goals, stop clock will be resumed. Penalties will remain the same no matter if the clock is stop time or run time.

Period Length:

All games will be 15 minutes stop time periods. If tied after 3 periods there will be a two minute rest followed by a five player shoot-out. If still tied, there will be a sudden victory shoot-out. Visiting teams will go first in all shoot-outs and all players must be used at least once before a player can participate in the shoot-out a second time.
