Icing
- Icing is when the defending team shoots the puck down the ice, without touching another player, across two red lines, first one being the red centre line and the second being the goal line. The opposing team must touch the puck before the team who iced the puck, or the icing charge will be called off.
- The team who ices the puck is not aloud to substitute players during the stoppage.
Periods (Regulation Time)
- Hockey is divided into three (3) period, first, second, and third; they are each twenty (20) minutes long, with intermissions in between.
- The ice is flooded after warm- up and during first and second intermission in international play.
Over Time
- If the game is still tied at the end of regulation, there is a sudden death overtime period; meaning, if a goal is scored during this period, the game is over,
- This period of play is 5 minutes long, with 4-on-4 hockey. If the game is still tied after this, it results in a shoot out.
