Teams moving up or down, their record essentially resets and we take only their winning percentage from within their new Division for playoff positioning.

Playoff Overtime Format

10 minutes of 5on5 Overtime. 5 Minutes of 4on4 Overtime. Continuous 3on3 Overtime. Clock will only be used if there is a penalty in continuous 3on3 overtime. There is no switching ends in overtime, which is why it’s imperative that teams switch to the start of the game.

Uniforms, Switching Ends & Roster Freeze

We are now over half way through the season. Every runner on the floor (goalies excluded), need to have a matching base colored jersey for their team. If one player needs pinnies, the entire team needs to wear pinnies.

If there is a conflict where both teams have for example black jerseys, the home team is required to wear pinnies during the regular season. In playoffs, the visitor is required to wear the pinnies.

Switching ends prior to every game is mandatory. This is to ensure, whether its playoffs or regular season, teams are defending their bench end for shootouts and/or overtime.

The roster freeze deadline has come and gone, there are no more roster additions or deletions of any kind. The rosters are set for the remainder of the season.

As always, any questions or follow up, please don’t hesitate to reply to this email, or text me directly.

Thank you and have a great second half of the season!
