The Rules

Yes ... there are rules.....

1) Basics:

  1. The game will begin when both goalies are present (and warmed up).
  2. Teams will agree upon goals as they are scored throughout
    the game  (good luck.. evidently no math teachers here..)
  3. A good time will be had by all.
  4. A fair representation is expected at the Prescott.
  5. No abuse of  'officials'

2) Stoppage in play:

  1. After a goal has been scored:
    bulletThe 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).
  2. Offside
    bulletThe team that was offside will retreat outside of the blue
    line of the opposing team until the puck or player crosses
    their blue line.
  3. Goalie controls (holds or appears to hold) the puck
    bulletThe 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.
  4. Puck sent up into mesh behind goal
    bulletThe 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)

  1. 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:
    bulletthe Commissioner (Ron)
    bulletthe Convenor (Phil)  not..... Phil is fair game
    bulletthe Owner (Frank)
    bulletany player over 60
  2. An injured player crawling along the ice will necessitate a
    stoppage in play. (see stoppage in play above)
  3. A late arriving player will be sent to the team in most need.
  4. A fair representation is expected at the Prescott.
    (yes.. this needs repeating)
  5. No Slap shots or "faked" slap shots
  6. No abuse of  'officials'

4) Scoring:

  1. Pucks in the net - goals disallowed = Final Score.
  2. 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.

5) Suggestions:

  1. All suggestions are encouraged and welcome.
  2. email the Owner 
     

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.
