Tournament Rules

  1. All players must be house league / local league players and must play for their own team.

  2. All teams are to provide their OMHA approved roster for review by the tournament executive prior to their 1st game. If any team fails to supply this information, that team may forfeit each game until the proper paper work is supplied. 

  3. Teams are to be ready to play 15 minutes prior to their scheduled game start time, or will be in jeopardy of a forfeit of the game.  There is minimal flexibility to reschedule games due to weather, and will be at the discretion of the tournament committee.  If a forfeit is the decision of the committee, it will result in a score of 5-0, and the winning team will acquire all 6 points.

  4. All games will be played under OMHA rules.

  5. Games consist of 3-10 minute stop time periods.  There is no overtime in round robin play. The Semi-Final and FINAL games will consist of 2-10 minute & 1-15 minute periods.  If the goal differential becomes greater than 5 goals in the 3rd period, the game time will be straight time.  If the goal differential is reduced to 3 goals, the game will return to stop time.  Penalties accumulated during straight time will be 3 minutes for a minor penalty, and 8 minutes for a major penalty.  The only time the clock will be stopped during run time is for an on ice injury, or at the discretion of the referee.
      

  6. Round robin play is by the point system:

    1 – head to head (points in their game)
    2 – team with the most wins
    3 – goal average of a team determined by total number of goals for divided by (total number of goals for plus total number of goals against)
    4 – goals against
    5 – goals for
    6 – lowest penalty minutes
    7 – flip of a coin

    If 3 teams are tied, only the points accumulated between the tied teams will be considered in the first tie breaker.  If any step in the tie breaker only seeds one team, that team assumes that position. The tie breaker method will continue to the next step to determine the tie breaker between the remaining two teams.

  7. OVERTIME:  only occurs in the quarter-finals, semi-finals and the finals.  There will be a 5 minute sudden victory overtime period. Each team will play with 3 players plus a goalie. Games that are still tied after three 5 minute overtime periods, will revert to a shootout.  The shootout will consist of 3 different players per team.  Each team will alternate shooting, beginning with the home team.  If the shootout is tied after the first round, subsequent rounds of the shootout will consist of one player per team until a winner is determined.  A player will not be permitted to shoot a 2nd time in the shootout until all of the players have participated in the shootout.

  8. Overtime penalties:  If a penalty occurs during the overtime, the penalized team does NOT lose a player but the opposing team ADDS a player.  When the penalty is over, the penalized player joins the play until there is a stoppage of play at which time both teams take a player off.  There will be no changes at any stoppage of play.  Changes must be on the fly.

  9. One 30 second timeout per team is permitted in the Championship games only.

  10. All protest must be submitted to the tournament committee 15 minutes following the game.  The tournament committee ruling is final.

  11. Only players and coaching staff will be allowed near the player’s bench and dressing room. No Parents Will Be Allowed In This Area.
