Once a team has played 11 regular season games, their roster is frozen for adding attacking players for the rest of the season. No new player additions are permitted unless in the goaltender position. Goalies may be added up until the last regular season game.
Only the players listed on your team roster after game 11 in the statistics section of our website are permitted to play from this point on. Any players that are not on the stats roster are considered illegal players. Once a player has participated in one game, they are considered an official rostered player, and cannot be released to gain a roster spot.
Playoff structure will be listed under the PLAYOFF & QUALIFICATION section.
Each team must have a matching base sweater colour and unique numbers, and shall have 1 or 2 digit permanent numbers (no duplicates) on the back or front by November 17. Minor penalties will be issued for Jersey infractions up to a maximum of 3 per game. In the event that both teams have the same color Jersey, a coin toss will determine who will switch Jerseys for that particular game. Jersey color infractions will no longer be in effect for either team; if the two same teams shall play again during the season, the team that won the coin toss will then be obligated to switch. In the playoffs, the home team will have the advantage. Sleeves are required at all times & Tape is not permitted on uniforms.
All players must play in a minimum of 4 regular season games to qualify for playoffs. Goalies require just 1 game at the goaltender position.
If a team has max amount of players on the game roster for a particular match, only those are eligible to participate for the duration. No Substitutions are allowed if a player gets injured or adding an additional goaltender. If a team only has one goaltender dressed and has the max amount of players & an injury occurs, an attacking must play in the goaltender position for the remainder of the game or play without a goalie.
