The scoring team will retreat to their side of centre ice until either the puck or a player (of the team that was scored against crosses centre ice).
Offside
The team that was offside will retreat outside of the blue line of the opposing team until the puck or player crosses their blue line.
Goalie controls (holds or appears to hold) the puck
The opposing team of the team that held the puck will retreat outside of the red line at the top of the circle (part of circle closest to the blue line) until the puck or player crosses that red line.
Puck sent up into mesh behind goal
The opposing team (not in that end) will retreat outside of the red line at the top of the circle (part of circle closest to the blue line) until the puck or player crosses that red line.
3) Unwritten rules: (yeah.. I know.. now they're written)
Once a player who has control of the puck has passed the defence (sometimes known as a break away), he shall be entitled to 'take the shot'. This is especially true and will be enforced if the player is:
the Commissioner (Ron)
the Convenor (Phil) not..... Phil is fair game
the Owner (Frank)
any player over 60
An injured player crawling along the ice will necessitate a stoppage in play. (see stoppage in play above)
A late arriving player will be sent to the team in most need.
A fair representation is expected at the Prescott. (yes.. this needs repeating)
Pucks in the net - goals disallowed = Final Score.
Season win determined by best-of series. Number of games in series determined by number of latest games played that give the Black team the overall victory.
Note: Any and all disputes will be settled by the EEOT review board. The board is comprised of the OWNER (Frank Smith), the COMMISSIONER (Ron Lowry) and the CONVENER (Phil Pilon). Of course, it goes without saying that it will take several glasses of wine and the odd beer to resolve even the most simple of controversies. So there will be a non-refundable deposit of $50 payable to Frank to ensure that your grievance is heard at the earliest opportunity.
