TIMEFRAMES
Each game will consist of three, 18 minute running clock periods. The clock will only be stopped for following:

· Penalties (Minors are 2:30, Majors are 5:00, Misconducts are 10 Mins)

· Goals 

· TimeOuts (1 Minute, each team) 

· Injury

.  In the last 2 minutes of the game if within 3 goals 

Officials will drop the puck for Faceoffs in such time as one whole team is lined-up, and if an opposing team cannot line up(in that same period of time) or delays intentionally; the puck will be dropped!  The waiting and delaying makes for poor hockey and we would like it removed from the game.

If at the 2-minute mark in the third period, the score is tied or within three goals, the clock will run on stopped time. Each game will have a Warm-up period of 4 minutes after the scheduled time.
