(3rd & Spruce Recreation Center (Rink))
Team Commitment by: June 22nd 2016 (create soft schedule for Captains Meeting)
General Information:Each player must pay the $25 fee and sign (2) waiver forms before they can play their first game. NO EXCEPTIONS! One is for the league and the other one is for the 3rd & Spruce Recreation Center who rents the rink to the Reading Hockey League. Players under the age of 18 must have a parent present to sign paper. No person under the age of 16 can participate in the Adult League. Each player pays $2 to the score keeper for refs before the game and give their name and number to the score keeper. After an 8 goal lead the game clock is running time. After a ten goal lead the game will be called, unless the other team wants to keep playing. No scoring or points will be added to clock, or records after 10 goal lead. If game gets chippy, game will be called.
Equipment: Gloves and Shin Pads are mandatory! Shin Pads must cover knee, shin, and ankle! Players under 18 years of age MUST wear a helmet with face shield. Elbow pads are optional. All players on the same team must wear the same color jersey, with a number on the back. If 2 teams have the same color jerseys the visiting team will wear a different color. We will provide mylec or g-force game balls for all games pending weather conditions.
Roster: Rosters must be finalized and no changes made after the 3rd game. Teams can sub other goalies during the regular season, but must have player from the roster as goalie for the play-offs. Players must play in at least 4 regular season games to be able to play in the play-offs. Only players and coaches are allowed on the bench during the game. Suspended players CAN NOT be on the bench during a game while suspended or at the rink. Suspension means you need a break from hockey and that includes the rink you were suspended from. League committee has (3) days to decide length of suspension or any other further actions that would be needed in order to maintain a safe league.
Off-sides: The white line is off sides.
Iceing: is called when a defensive player shoots the ball from his defensive side of the "clearing" line over the opposing team's goal line without any other player touching it. Clearing is called immediately when the ball crosses the goal line and is brought back to the defensive zone of the team committing the infraction and a face-off is held in the circle on either side of the goal.
NOTE: THE BALL, AND NOT THE PLAYER'S FEET, IS THE DETERMINING FACTOR IN JUDGING THIS INFRACTION.
Clearing is "washed out" by either referee if, in their opinion, any of the following occurred:
a. if the ball crosses any part of the goal crease.
b. If the goalie touches the ball before it crosses the goal line.
c. If, in the opinion of the officials, the defensive player could have played the ball before it crossed the goal line.
d. If, due to penalties assessed, (except for misconducts) the team is playing short-handed against their opponents. (if both teams are equally short-handed, clearing is not allowed.)
Penalties: Players are advised to not argue any calls with referees. This includes both non-penalty and penalty calls. ONLY TEAM CAPTAINS ARE ALLOWED TO DISCUSS CALLS WITH REFEREES. Any abuse of the referees can or will result in a penalty or ejection depending on the degree of abuse the player gives the referees.
