KMHA: Policy # HL - D3
Title: Cripps and Championship Overtime Rules
Policy Statement:
OVERTIME RULES
Overtime will be sudden victory with the first team to score winning. Overtime will consist of one period of 3 on 3 play with the teams switching ends at the start of period (long change).
Every player has the right to play and experience the excitement and pressure of an overtime game. Every player must play a shift before the first player plays a second shift. If a player returns to the ice accidental or intentional before all players have been played once, play is to be stopped immediately and a penalty shot will be called on the offending team.
Penalties from the game carry forward into the overtime and teams will start 4 on 3 until the first whistle after the penalty has been served then the game will resume as 3 on 3. Any penalty called in overtime will result in a penalty shot for the non offending team. If the penalty is a major the player will be removed from the game.
Novice (with 1:30 buzzer)
Period length = 9:00
Players change on the buzzer
Minor Atom to Midget
Period length = 10:00
Players can only change on the fly and not during a stoppage in play
Shootout Format
If a winner does not emerge than a shootout format will be used. Each team will get three shooters and they will shoot at the same time. If the teams are still tied than they will go one shooter at a time until a winner occurs. No shooter can shoot twice until all have had an attempt. Use the Overtime Shootout Form in Appendix A to determine shooter order.
