Following goals, the team scored on gets possession of the ball in their end; the team that scored must go to centre until the ball is in play. Possession is given to the defending team after a penalty shot.
The last player to touch the ball before it goes out of bounds forfeits the ball to the opposing team at the point of exit; allow the opposing team 3 metres and 5 seconds to make a play.
If the goalie covers the ball anywhere in the defensive zone, the defending team gets possession of the ball behind their net while the other team must allow 3 metres and 5 seconds to make a play.
No off-side or “icing”; hand passes are permitted.

A penalty shot will be awarded for any of the following infractions: too many players on the street*,
slapshots*, slashing, hooking, tripping, crosschecking, high sticking, unsportsmanlike conduct. Any player may take the penalty shot; following the penalty shot, possession is given to the defensive team.

More serious offenses such as spearing, butt-ending, fighting, abusive language, etc. will result in the player’s immediate removal from the tournament.
