SHOOTOUT PROCEDURE:
If the game remains tied at the end of the overtime periods, the teams will proceed to a shoot out.
The shootout will begin with a coin flip, called by the home team. The winning team of the coin flip will decide if they will shoot first or second. This decision will carry throughout to all shootout, and sudden death rounds.
Three different players from each team shall participate in the shootout and they shall proceed in such order as the Coach selects.
Each team will be given three shots, unless the outcome is determined earlier in the shootout.
After each team has taken three shots, if the score remains tied, the shootout will proceed to a “sudden death” format. For a MAXIMUM of 3 shooters.
One player from each team will shoot per round, until a decisive goal is scored.
The same or new players can be used for “sudden death” rounds.
The same player can also be used for each shot by a team in the “sudden death” rounds.
If still tied after 3 “sudden death” shooters the game will be decided with a coin flip, called by the home team.
OVERTIME PENALTY PROCEDURE:
Players for 3 on 3 in overtime will be adjusted to reflect the situation in the game, but at no time will a team have fewer then three players on the ice during the overtime period. FOR EXAMPLE, if a team enters the overtime period on a power play, players would be adjusted from 5 on 4 at the end of regulation to 4 on 3 at the start of the overtime. If a minor penalty is assessed during the overtime, the teams will play 4 on 3. If a second minor penalty assessed to the same team during overtime, the teams will play 5 on 3.
