1 2019 Canada Winter Games Hockey (Women s) Technical Package Technical Packages are a critical part of the Canada Games. They guide the selection of athletes by prescribing the age and eligibility requirements, assist the organizing committees by detailing tournament formats and scoring procedures, assist Chefs de Mission in verifying eligibility, help with budgeting by describing the number of participants permitted, advance coaching certification by stating minimum requirements and generally contribute to athlete development by identifying each National Sport Organization s (NSO) version of athletes in the training to compete phase of its Long Term Athlete Development Model (LTAD), or other suitable phase of the model as justified by the NSO, discussed with the LTAD expert group, and approved by the Canada Games Council (CGC) Sport Committee. Every Games' coach, manager, Sport Chairperson and Mission staff has an obligation to read and understand every aspect of the Technical Package. Failure to do so could cost an athlete his or her eligibility for the Games or could affect final standings or the conduct of the competition. If someone does not understand an aspect of a Technical Package, he or she is to seek clarification from the CGC Sport Committee through his or her Chef de Mission or NSO. Technical Packages are developed 36 to 24 months prior to Games primarily by NSOs, following principles outlined in this document, guidelines and requirements of the CGC. As the overall governing body of the Games, the CGC has the ultimate authority over Technical Packages, but this authority is exercised only with the knowledge and understanding of the concerned NSO. Generally, Technical Packages are developed by sport, but in certain cases may be developed by discipline. If an individual wishes to seek clarification or initiate a change to a Technical Package leading up to a Games, the request should be first directed to the NSO or the Chef de Mission. The NSO or Chef de Mission will evaluate the merits of the request and will, if it has merit, submit the requested change or clarification to the CGC s Sport Division for consideration. The NSO or Chef de Mission will submit the rationale for the request. Changes to age groups, eligibility requirements, team sizes or staff complements will not be considered after 36 months prior to the Games. Additions or changes to events/competition formats that result in a significant cost increase to the Host Society will not be considered after 24 months before the Games, unless approved by the CGC and the Host Society. Substantive changes to events or competition formats will not be considered after 18 months before the Games, unless approved by all participating Provincial/Territorial associations and the CGC. Minor corrections will be considered at almost any time, but will be increasingly difficult to achieve within six months of the Games. These time frames reinforce the importance of complete understanding of the Technical Package by Games participants early. 1

The goalkeepers from each team may be changed after each shot. 7. The shots will be taken in accordance with rule 509 of the IIHF Official Rule Book: a) Three different shooters from each team during the preliminary and qualifying rounds five different shooters from each team during the playoff and medal rounds 8.

The Official Scorekeeper will record all shots taken, indicating the players, goalkeepers and goals scored. 11. Only the decisive goal will count in the result of the game.

Overall goal differential. 3. Higher number of goals scored for. 4. Game Winning Shot competition between the teams concerned. As soon as one of the criteria breaks the tie, it shall not be necessary to review the next criteria listed. If three or more teams have the same number of points in the group, then their ranking shall be determined by the higher number of points in a special standing composed solely of the results of their head-to-head (mutual) games. If the number of points is equal between the three or more teams in this special standing solely from the results of their head-to-head (mutual) games, then the following tie breaking criteria applies in order (with no secondary return to the head-to-head results): 1. Goal differential in the standing between the teams involved. 2. Higher number of goals scored in the standing between the teams involved. 3. Goal differential from all games played in the group. 4. Higher number of goals scored from all games played in the group. 5. Game winning shot competition between the teams which are still equal. Note: As soon as one of the criteria breaks the tie, it shall not be necessary to review the next criteria listed. If two teams are equal according to all the above tie-breaking criteria at the end of their last mutual game in the group and their standing cannot be influenced by games to follow, this game shall be prolonged according to the regulation for over-time period in play-off games, just to decide the positions of the two teams. 9.

Provincial/Territorial Teams at Canada Games should include the best athletes within the chosen stage of development or age group. In the case of hockey, the Train to Compete Stage of Development has been identified as the ideal stage of development for the Canada Games, with an additional focus on the Train to Win Stage. 2. Selected pool of athletes should all have the opportunity to try out for the provincial Canada Games Team. No club team is entering the Canada Games. 3. Selection process to mirror the Hockey Canada National Women s Team Program selection process. 4. Potential athletes should be athletes involved in their branch programing in the respective provinces at the U18 level. 5. Potential athletes should be training on an annual basis as part of a recognized provincial club program, school based program or any other recognized high performance environment. 6. Potential athletes should be engaged in an environment that reflects Train to Compete / Train to Win environment, with the technical, tactical, physical and mental aspects of the game being considered on an annual basis and with an off season training protocol. 7. Potential athletes should demonstrate characteristics found in Hockey Canada s Evaluation Criteria and Gold Medal Profile (see Appendix 1 and 2). Version 1.0 ( ), Version 2.0 ( ) 18

23 APPENDIX 6 IIHF PLAYING RULES IIHF RULE BOOK: *to be updated if rules updated prior to Games. Rule 65 IIHF Rule Book Icing the Puck/Hybrid Icing: i) Should a player of a team equal or superior in numerical strength propel the puck in any manner (stick, glove, skate, body) from her own half of the ice to beyond the icing line of the opposing team including off the boards or the protective glass without the puck being touched by any player from either team in the offensive half of the ice before the puck crosses the icing line, an icing will be in effect. ii) There are two decisions a linesperson must make under hybrid icing rules. First, she must determine that the shot from a player s own side of centre ice will cross the icing line in the attacking zone. Second, she must determine whether a defending skater or attacking skater would be first to touch the puck. iii) This second decision must be made no later than the instant the first of the players reaches the end zone faceoff spots, although the decision can be made earlier. The skates of the skaters are the determining factor. iv) Should the puck be shot or propelled in such a way that it travels around the boards and slides back towards centre ice, the linesman will determine which player would be first to touch the puck. In this instance, the determining factor is not the end zone faceoff spots but the puck itself. v) If there is no race for the puck, icing will be not called until a defending player crosses her defending blue line and the puck crosses the icing line. vi) If the race for the puck is too close to determine which player from which team would touch the puck first, icing will be called. vii) During an icing situation where play has been stopped, there must be strict enforcement of rules regarding avoidable contact. viii) During an icing situation where the icing has been cancelled because an attacking player has gained positional advantage, players must compete within the rules pertaining to physical contact. Rule 53 IIHF Rule Book Determining Faceoff Location/Penalties Assessed: i. When players are penalized resulting in penalties to one team being placed on the scoreclock, the ensuing faceoff will take place at one of the two end zone faceoff dots in the end of the team that will play short-handed except: a. When a penalty is assessed after the scoring of a goal, the ensuing faceoff will take place at centre ice: b. When a penalty is assessed before the start or at end of a period, the ensuing faceoff will take place at centre ice; c. When the defending team is about to be penalized and an attacking skater enters the attacking zone beyond the outer edge of the end zone faceoff circles during a player confrontation, the ensuing faceoff will take place at one of the two faceoff spots outside the attacking zone Version 1.0 ( ), Version 2.0 ( ) 23

24 Rule 93 - IIHF Rule Book Player Change on Icing Calls: i. A team that incurs an icing call is not allowed to make player changes prior to the ensuing faceoff. The rule applies to those players who were on the ice the moment the puck left the player s stick to produce the icing. ii. If a team attempts to change players after it has iced the puck, the referee will issue a warning for the first offense and then assess a bench-minor penalty for delay of game for subsequent offenses. iii. Should a team that ices the puck utilize its team timeout at this stoppage of play, it is still iv. not allowed to make any player substitutions. A team is allowed to make a player substitution: a. To replace a goaltender who had been substituted for an extra player; b. To replace an injured player or goaltender; c. If either team incurs a penalty which alters on-ice manpower, the team icing the puck is allowed to make player changes, but the ensuing faceoff will take place in the defending zone of the team incurring the penalty. v. A skater who breaks her stick on a play that is called for icing will be allowed to go to her players bench to get a new one. Rule 135 IIHF Rule Book Delay of Game/Shooting or Throwing the Puck Out of Play: i. A player who shoots, throws, or bats the puck directly out of the playing area from inside her defending zone anywhere in the rink (except where there is no protective glass) during game action, without any deflection, will be assessed a minor penalty. The determining factor will be the position of the puck when it is played. ii. No penalty will be assessed if a player shoots the puck directly over the boards at the players benches but not over the protective glass behind the players benches. iii. A player who deliberately shoots the puck out of play anywhere on the ice during play or after a stoppage will be assessed a minor penalty. iv. A player who lifts the puck from the defending zone and hits the scoreclock or any structural object above the ice surface, causing a stoppage of play, will not be assessed a penalty. Rule 217 IIHF Rule Book Delay of Game/Goaltender Shooting or Throwing the Puck Out of Play: i. A goaltender who shoots, throws, or bats the puck directly out of the playing area from inside her defending zone anywhere in the rink (except where there is no protective glass) during game action, without any deflection will be assessed a minor penalty. The determining factor will be the position of the puck when it is played. ii. A goaltender will not be penalized if she deflects the puck over the protective glass while making a save, but if she makes a save and in the same motion bats or swats the puck out of play, she will be assessed a minor penalty. iii. A goaltender who deliberately shoots the puck out of play anywhere on the ice during game action or a stoppage will be assessed a minor penalty. Version 1.0 ( ), Version 2.0 ( ) 24
