A visiting player can play one game for $10 the first time, $15 the second time, and $20 the third time. If a visitor decides to join the league the season rate will be prorated. No visiting players will be allowed in the playoffs and Rink set- up: We will play one court with 4 players per side (including goalies). Each team will have approximately 8-10 members. The rink is approximately 100 L x 50 W. Goals are standard 6 x 4 Game length: (3) 15 minute periods with two (2) 1- minute intermissions Win = 2 points Overtime or Shootout loss = 1 point Regulation loss = 0 points Tiebreaker will be determined by 1) Regulation/Overtime wins, 2) head- to- head record, 3) goal differential 4) goals for 5) goals against Overtime: In case of a tie game at the end of regulation, after a 2- minute break, the game will resume with a 5- minute, sudden death overtime period. If the score is still tied after the overtime period, the teams will participate in a shoot- out. Shootout Three (3) players from each team will alternate shooting at the goalie. Whichever team makes the most goals wins the competition and their team is awarded the deciding goal. If after one round the score is still tied, the shootout will continue with other players until we have a winner. The Home team decides which team shoots first.
Penalties: All minor penalties will result in a penalty shot. A double minor and/or major penalty will result in two shots. A player will be ejected for a major penalty and may be subject to further disciplinary action. Minor Penalties include tripping, hooking, holding, interference, and minor roughing, slashing, high sticking, etc. Major Penalties include fighting, severe roughing, spearing, butt- ending, and any intention to harm another player. Accidental High- sticking resulting in blood will result in a double- minor penalty. Abuse of referees or officials will result in a minor penalty. Continuous abuse will result in a game misconduct, 2 penalty shots, and may be subject to further disciplinary action. ANY player on the floor at the time of the penalty can take the penalty shot. No one can come off the bench to take the shot. CONDUCT: Players: We re all in this together and most of us have played together for years. Keep your emotions in check and remember it s just a game. Respect the game and also respect the rink by cleaning up after yourselves. Fans, Parents, and Friends: Don t embarrass yourself and the players by acting like a fool. Cheer them on and be supportive. I have no problem asking someone to leave who is causing problems. Other information: Players will sweat a lot.

Basic DEK Hockey Rules The object of the game quite simply is to strike the ball with the hockey stick and knock it into the opponent's hockey net (6 feet wide x 4 feet high). Typically, a low- bounce type of ball is used. We use a Mylec or D- Gel regulation ball. For added safety, hockey gloves and helmets are recommended, and in fact are mandatory for play in our member leagues. Any size or type of non- slip flooring can be used as a playing field. Impact 864 league games are usually played at Hot Wheels South in Bossier City on a painted hardwood floor measuring 80 x 50. Extra players are kept on each bench, outside the playing surface, and interchanged with the players on the floor either during play or at a stoppage of play. The following are additional rules: Face- offs are only conducted at the beginning of each period. After a freezing of the ball by the goalie, a goal scored or a ball brought back into play form out of bounds, the team processing the ball has three (3) seconds to bring the ball in play from behind the goal/base line. Opposing players cannot attack the ball until after the three seconds expires or until the ball is played across the bass line. Penalties are called when a player commits a foul. Every penalty will result in a penalty shot. Boxing out and minimal body contact is allowed. Other penalties such as tripping, slashing, cross checking, interference, and roughing will be enforced. No offsides and no icing/flooring. To score a legal goal, it cannot be kicked in; nor struck with a stick above the shoulders; nor pushed in using the hand, nor while offside. Slap shots are legal. (competitive only) A goal can be scored from anywhere in the playing surface. Each team will be allowed one (1) 30 second time- out per game. We will play with a running clock. The clock will only stop for injuries. If the score is within 2 goals, the clock will stop every time play is interrupted in the last minute.
