"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." — John Fitzgerald Kennedy 2019/2020 Registration
Registration will open for the season on May 28th. We are still working on the seminar schedule, but plan on some dates over the summer, and some adjustments to our normal schedule.
Composition of Teams
During the course of the game the referee is notified that Players or Team Officials that have received a previous suspension are participating in the game. These players did not sit out or fulfill their obligated suspension time. Should the referee penalize the offending team?
No. Rule Reference 201(c).
The referee may not be aware of the time period that has taken place between games and therefore cannot enforce suspensions to Players or Team Officials. The referee is required to report the incident to the proper authorities for further review.
Protective Equipment
A player is discovered to be wearing his elbow pads outside of his sweater. What action shall the Referee take to correct this situation?
The Referee must inform the offending player and order him off the ice until the situation is corrected. Rule References 304(b) and 304(g).
The team is warned and any player from this team who returns to play with the elbow pads outside of the sweater shall be assessed a misconduct penalty.
Minor Penalties
Are there any instances in which a bench minor penalty does not have to be served by a player on the ice at the time of the infraction?
No. Rule References 402(b).
Bench minor penalties must be served by a non-penalized player who was on the ice at the time of the infraction.In those rare occasions when a bench minor penalty is assessed and there are no players on the ice (e.g. before the start of the game, during intermissions, during a penalty shot, etc.), the team may designate any non-penalized player, except a goalkeeper, to serve the bench minor penalty.
