O.M.H.A. rules apply to all games.

All referees decisions are final.

All teams are to be ready ½ hour before game time.

Fighting, game misconduct, gross misconduct and match penalties will result in immediate expulsion for the remainder of the tournament.

The games will be decided by sudden death overtime, with each team starting with a goalie and 4 skaters for 2 minutes, then 3 skaters for 2 minutes, then 2 skaters for 2 minutes. Any penalties will result in a penalty shot. In the event a player is hurt, a change is allowed, but the injured player cannot play the remainder of the overtime. A player whose penalty carries into overtime must serve their time. If still tied, there will be a sudden death shoot-out, using 3 shooters. (Example: if team A’s first shooter scores and team B’s shooter does not score, the team A will win the game). If still tied 3 different shooters shoot-out.

During overtime, a player must change while play is in progress, not at a stoppage of play (unless injured).

Championship games and consolation championship games - if tied after regular play it will be decided by 10 minutes sudden death overtime periods.

If winning team is ahead by 5 or more goals in the last 10 minutes of play, straight time will be played
