  1. It is expected that all teams will meet the classification requirements as determined in the tournament outline.  No major age teams are allowed unless cleared by the tournament director.  Any team found in violation after the tournament starts will play their games and then forfeit their points and be ejected from the tournament.

  11. Shootout Regulations:

  1. Each coach will designate 5 players by using a “*” next to the players name on the gamesheet.  This MUST be done before the game. Players that are still serving a misconduct (10 minute) penalty at the expiration of the overtime shall not be permitted to be a shooter.  In such circumstances, if the player in question was marked with “*” prior to a game, a substitution shall be allowed.

  2. One player from each team will start at centre ice and at the SAME time attempt to score.

  3. After the fifth and final player has shot, the winning team will be determined by the most goals scored.

  4. Should a tie still exist, one new eligible shooter from each team shall be chosen and sudden death (on a one for one basis) shall apply until a winner is declared.

    EXAMPLE: If Team A scores but Team B does not then Team A shall be declared the winner. However if both teams score then another round of shooters will take place until a winner is determined.  A new player will be chosen each time until all players have shot.  Then each team may choose a player to shoot a second time.

  5. The winning teams score will be reflected by one additional goal.

     

  1. Body checking is not allowed as determined by OMHA.

     

  2. Entry fee refunds will not be made to teams accepted into the tournament within 20 days prior to tournament start.

  4. All decisions of the Tournament Director or Committee are final.

     

  5. By entering this tournament, the coach or manager on behalf of their team, releases Waterford Minor Hockey (WDMHA) the Tournament Committee and all referees, officials, sponsors, volunteers, arena management and all others concerned with the tournament from any and all liability of injury or accident which maybe incurred by any player or team official while participating in, and/or coming to and/or going from the tournament.

     

  6. It is common to have coaches and/or parents approach the Tournament Committee protesting a suspension penalty issued by a referee.  It must be emphasized to all coaching staffs and parents that the Tournament Committee cannot and will not overturn any penalty issued before, during or after a game regardless of the circumstances.  The suspension appeal process can be found in the OMHA Manual of operations.

Parents and Guests are the responsibility of the team.  Inappropriate parent or guest behaviour towards the competing team, any children, referees, coaches, arena staff, tournament staff, OMHA staff and/or other parents may result in the expulsion of the team from the tournament.  Assistant Convenors will be present at each game to monitor behaviour.
