General – BCAHA and VIAHA guidelines/rules apply unless noted otherwise.
Sportsmanship – Saanich Minor Hockey Association and BCAHA stress good sportsmanship. Fighting, abusive language/behavior, or unsportsmanlike conduct exhibited by players, coaches or parents will not be tolerated on or off the ice. Such conduct will be grounds for disqualification of individuals and/or teams from the tournament. Referees have on ice control and have the authority to direct the removal of any person acting in an objectionable manner. Referees have the authority to end any game deemed to endanger players. The Tournament Director supports all referees’ decisions. In conjunction, the tournament director or controller present may authorize any member of the host association to remove any parent, player, or coach that is acting in an unsportsmanlike manner. It will be the decision of the tournament director to allow re-entry to the tournament.
PLEASE NOTE: TEAMS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR LEAVING THEIR CHANGE ROOMS CLEAN AND IN GOOD CONDITION AFTER USING THEM. SAANICH STAFF AND TOURNAMENT STAFF WILL CHECK THE ROOMS AFTER EACH TEAM. IF ANY TEAM HAS LEFT THE ROOM IN UNSATISFACTORY CONDITION, THAT TEAM WILL BE SUBJECT TO A $100 FINE. IN THE EVENT THE ROOMS ARE DAMAGED BEYOND THE $100.00, AN ADDITIONAL FINE WILL BE CHARGED TO THE TEAM RESPONSIBLE.
TOURNAMENT RULES:
Length of games – All games are 1 hour and 20 minutes long. Each game will consist of:
2-15 minutes stopped time periods and the third period of 20 minutes stop time
5-minute warm up time
2 minute break between periods
5 minutes for handshake and awards at the end of the game.
All games must be completed within the allocated time regardless of time remaining on the score clock in the third period. We must adhere to the wall clock for scheduling purposes. Games may end in a tie.
For Elimination and Championship games, the game format will be as stated above. The third period should be played out. The time allotted will be 1 hour and fifty minutes to allow for a tie breaker. In the event of a tie there will be a sudden death 5 minute period, four skaters plus goalie per team (or five skaters/no goalie). If, after the sudden death there still remains a tie, there will be a sudden death shoot out. Each team must mark their game sheet with number order of the shooters prior to the start of the regular play game.
Number of Coaches on the Bench – No more than 4 people, other than dressed players are permitted on each team bench. All coaches/trainers, individuals on the bench must be registered/rostered to that team.
Jerseys – The home team will wear light color jerseys and the visiting team will wear dark color jerseys. If a team has only one (1) set of jerseys and it is similar in color or same as the opponent, then the other team can wear its alternate color. If both teams have only one set and they are similar then the tournament Director will provide suitable pinnies for the home team.
Equipment – All players must adhere to BCAHA Hockey rules and regulations. Players will be removed if they not properly dressed for games.
Forfeiture – Any team forfeiting a game will be automatically eliminated from further game play.
Points – 2 points will be awarded for each win and 1 point will be awarded for each tie during the Round Robin
In the event that two or more teams have an equal number of points following the initial tiering Round, the following formula will be used to determine a winner:
· Most wins in Tiering Round (first four games)
· Least amount of total penalty minutes in all games.
· Lowest number of goals against teams in all games.
· Highest number of goals scored in each game previous
· Fastest goal scored in their first game.
· Coin toss.
Please note that the tiebreakers reward defense. This is to discourage running up the score against a weaker opponent.
