REGISTRATION
All players must be registered to play. If you would like to add players to your roster during the season please contact us prior to the scheduled game.
Players are only able to be registered with one team in a league. Players may switch to a different team mid-season one time per season, if agreed on by both teams.
To play in playoffs, players must have played a minimum of 2 regular season games.
DISCIPLINE
If a player receives a yellow card caution, they will be removed from the game for 2 minutes and their team will play shorthanded for that duration. The referee will signal when the player is able to come back on the field.
If a player receives 2 yellow cards in the same game, it will be treated as a second caution. The player will be ejected and unable to return for the remainder of the game. Their team will need to play a man down for an additional 2-minutes and will be allowed back to even strength (7v7) after that time.
If a player receives a straight red card they will be ejected from the game immediately, their team will play a man down for the duration of the game and the player will face suspension from the league.
An accumulation of 3 yellow cards in one season will result in a one game suspension.
A straight red card will result in a minimum 1 game suspension. Exact suspension will be reviewed and determined by league officials.
