Men's League Rules adapted by Advisory Council

1.  Game misconduct will go to Team Captain for allowing unrostered players to play.  Game will also result in a forfeit.
2.  USA Hockey card/and or ID must be brought to the bench if a player arrives late.  Scorekeepers will have rosters to check as well.                                
3. Should the game clock finish and there is time left on the curfew clock, the score clock will be set               to match the curfew clock for an overtime period, only if the game is tied.  Team who loses will receive 1 point for the tie.    
4. The beginning of the 3rd period will be a running clock period matched to the time left on the curfew clock ONLY if there are less than 10 minutes on the curfew clock.  (7 minutes left on the curfew clock, 7 minute running time period.  this will also mean that minor penalties will now be 3 minute penalties, since the clock is running.  If the score is tied, the last 2 minutes of the period will be stop time .)
5. Should a player become injured during a Sunday Night Men's league game and the game must be stopped until the player is able to be moved safely from the ice by emergency personnel, Lakeshore Sports Centre will reschedule that game at the end of the season ONLY if less that 1/2 of that game was played (15 minutes).
