       *   When a substitute goalkeeper initially enters the game, he will take his position without delay.  A TWO minute warm-up per substitute goaltender per game shall be required.  If, in the judgment of the official, he feels that a goaltender's warm-up has been made to give his team a stoppage of play or rest period, the official may assess a minor penalty for delay of game.  (Note: Variance approved 10/99) 

 

RULE 2-4c               WARM-UP BETWEEN PERIODS

       *   All players will be allowed a two minute warm-up period to skate and stretch between periods.  During this warm-up period no shots will be taken and players must stay in their own end of the ice.  A team shall not use pucks on the ice before the start of the second or subsequent periods or where there is a separate warm-up period followed by an ice cut, before the start of the first period.  (addition approved (9/28/01)  Upon the official's whistle all players except the starting line-up will go immediately to their respective players bench.  For a violation of this rule a team will be assessed a minor penalty.

RULE 3-3                   THROAT GUARD

        *  It is mandatory for all players to wear approved throat protectors and that they shall not be altered from the original manufactures specifications.  For the first violation of this rule the player will be given a warning and sent to the bench, and for the second violation by the same player a minor penalty will be assessed.

 

RULE 3-4 ,5,6:                  PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

        *  Headguards displaced during normal action of play shall call for an immediate whistle if the player is involved directly in the action.

         *  All players are required to wear helmets while on the ice (including the warm-up), in the players' bench and in the penalty bench.  The first violation of the rule will be a warning and the second violation by the same player will be a minor penalty.  

        *  All helmets worn by players must include an ear piece.  (Adopted Ice Hockey Committee 3/01, Central Committee 8/01).

        *  Flagrant violations:  Some incidents may warrant more than one game disqualification.  ( Example: Molesting an official or causing injury by malicious use of the stick, etc)  Sections and/or league officials are urged to formulate committees to adjudicate flagrant violations of the rules.  Any coach, athletic director or game official should be empowered  to initiate complaints to this committee.
        *  Any player assessed  a game disqualification or game misconduct penalty will be suspended from his team's next regularly scheduled played game.  The progressive disqualification structure will be followed Rule 4-5b.
            Note:  All game disqualification and game misconduct, regardless of when 
                       imposed, shall be charged against the offending players or coaches,
                       shall be recorded on the score sheet.
         *  Should a player or coach be ejected because of misconduct, the NYSPHSAA Sportsmanship standard #26 is in effect.  The Standard requires that the player or coach "sit out" the next contest in the tournament series, or if occurring during the final or last contest of the tournament, that the player must "sit out" the first contest of their next season of participation.

 

RULE 6-54 and 56                       OVERTIME

        *  During the regular season (non-tournament or consolation game, or any game where a winner is not necessary) there will be a three minute rest for players (teams do not change ends) and one five minute sudden-death overtime period will be played.  The first team to score shall win the game.  If neither team scores in the five minutes, the game shall be declared a tie.
         *  During the regular season tournament where a winner is necessary, play shall continue for not more than two sudden-death overtime periods of 7 minutes, 30 seconds each.  Teams will not change ends.  If no goal is scored, the game will be considered a tie, and the shootout procedure as outlined in addendum I will be followed to determine advancement only.
        *  In sectional, Regional and NYSPHSSAA Championship Play:
        *  Play shall be continued for not more than four overtime periods of 7 minutes, 30 seconds each; There shall be a three minute intermission after the third period and teams will not change ends for the overtime period.
        *  If the game shall be tied at the end of the first overtime period, teams will play another overtime period without changing ends.  If the game remains tied after this second overtime period, there will be a rest period while the ice is resurfaced.  For the third overtime, teams will change ends.  If the score is still tied, there will be a three minute rest, and a fourth overtime will be played.  If the score is still tied, the "shoot down" procedure will be used.  (Addendum #1)
        *  If the teams are still tied after the four overtimes of NYSPHSAA finals, Co-Champions will be crowned.

ADDENDUM #1:  PROCEDURES FOR A "SHOOT DOWN"

        with the officials.  (All players, other than those involved in the shoot down, 
        are to go to their bench and be seated.  The shooters will remain behind the
        center face-off spot at the discretion of the officials.)

2.     The official(s) will flip a coin to see which team starts.  Players form opposing
         teams will alternate taking penalty shots (Rule 4-6) until all six players have

         play.

         shooters.  Players from opposing teams will alternate taking penalty shots
          (Rule 4.6) until all three players have completed.  The team with the most 
          goals will advance in tournament or state play

4.       If there is still a tie, each team will select another three shooters (none of those
          who have already competed) and continue the process.  Players from 
          opposing teams will alternate taking penalty shots (Rule 4-6) until all  three
          players have completed.  The team with the most goals will advance in
          tournament or state play.

5.       If a tie still exists, each team will select any three shooters for the remaining
          Shoot Downs.  Players from opposing teams will alternate taking penalty  
          shots (Rule 4-6) until all three have completed.  The team with the most goals 
          will advance in tournament or state play.

6.       Goaltenders may be substituted in between each group of three shooters,
           not during.  Goaltenders injured may be substituted according to 
           NYSPHSAA rules.
