Bantam Tournament Rules

• USA Hockey rules will govern all play.

• Noisemakers of any kind are not allowed.

• A USA Hockey roster and USA Registration documentation must be presented at check-in before each team’s first game.

• The referees will be in charge of the game, and no obscene language or gestures will be tolerated. A “ZERO TOLERANCE” policy will be strictly enforced.

• All teams will be expected to be ready to take the ice 30 minutes before their scheduled game time, as games may start early.

• Warm-up time is five (5) minutes. The period break during a non-resurfacing break is one (1) minute.

• Each team will be guaranteed at least three games, consisting of 3 periods of 15-minute stop time. The ice will be resurfaced at the start of each game only. 

• Running time will start when a team has a six-goal lead. The clock will stop for penalties & goals. Stop-time will resume if the lead is reduced to fewer than six goals.

• The tournament officials reserve the right to change from stop-time for each period to a predetermined length period or running time if the tournament were to fall behind in time allotment. We do not anticipate this happening as we will have allowed 1 1⁄2 hours for each game and resurfacing.

• All players are required to wear USA Hockey-approved protective equipment, including mouth guards.

• Tied games will be decided as follows:

  • One minute rest at the end of the game before the overtime

  • One 5-minute sudden-death overtime period will be played. A shootout will be used if the score remains tied at the end of the overtime period.

• Noisemakers of any kind are not allowed. 

• Home team wears light jerseys; Away team wears dark jerseys.
