Captains,

I have just moved to the area from PA and I would like to play in the summer league. My past experience is at the ACHA D2 level, so I am looking to play in the A league. Please let me know if you need a player for your team. Thanks.

To all players of the Piney Orchard Adult
League:

Today I found beer cans on the players
bench and in the penalty box from the 
Adult League game last night. There is no
drinking allowed during the game.  
Anyone caught drinking during the game will
be ejected from the game and will 
receive an automatic 3 Games Suspension. I
have informed SHOA to watch for 
players drinking on the bench and in the
penalty box. The officials are to eject 
any player or players from the game. Please
advise your players that drinking 
during the game will not be tolerated at
the Piney Orchard Ice Arena.

League Rules and Procedures

Playing Rules and Procedures

Game Format – 
All games consist of three-15-minute, stop
clock periods, and 2-minute minor penalties.
If the game ends in a tie, and if time
allows, there will be a 1-minute break, then
a 5-minute running time of 5 on 5 sudden
death overtime play.  Points are awarded as
follows:  2 points for a win.  Overtime play
goes by the NHL point system.  One time-out
will be allowed per team (except during
overtime).  A, B, and C Leagues allow for
full slap shot, and NO checking.  Red Line
icing.

Start of Game and Periods – 
There will be a 5-minute warm-up.  If a
team does not have enough players on the ice
to begin the game after the designated
warm-up period has ended, the referee shall
direct the scorekeeper to place 15 minutes
on the game clock and start the clock.  If,
within 5 minutes, additional players show up
and ready to play, the time remaining on the
clock will be used to begin the first
period.  If, after 5 minutes have expired,
and a team still does not have enough
players on the ice to start the game, the
game shall be declared a forfeit in favor of
the opposing team (no time-out allowed).  If
neither team has enough players to start the
game, the referee shall deem the game a
forfeit and both teams will be charged with
a loss.

Player Identification – 
All players who are properly registered
will receive a helmet sticker.  All players
must be registered and fees paid to Piney
Orchard Ice Arena before playing in the
league.  A player can only be rostered in
ONE league on ONE team, otherwise, the game
will be a forfeit and the player suspended.

Player Identification Check – 
A team captain may request the referees
perform a player ID check any time before
the game and during the game up to the
beginning of the third period.  When
requested, the referees will require the
player(s) in question to produce photo
identification; the player will leave the
ice and the game shall continue.  At the
next stoppage of play he may return to the
ice and produce his identification.  The
referee will verify that the player’s
name(s) appear on the team roster, which
will be with the scorekeeper.  If the player
in question is an illegal player, the team
that he is playing for will forfeit and the
game shall be considered complete.  If the
player is not an illegal player, the team
requesting the ID check will be charged with
a bench minor penalty for delay of game.
	Illegal Player – An illegal player is any
player who:
1.	Participates in a game while suspended;
or
2.	Is not properly registered with the
league; or
3.	Is not on the team roster.

Team Jerseys – 
All players on the same team must have
similarly colored jerseys.  The jersey for
each player of the team must have a
permanently affixed number on the back of
the jersey.  This number must correspond to
the number for that player on the team
roster.  This requirement is in effect from
the opening day of the season.  If team
jerseys are deemed too similar in color by
the referees, the visiting team will have to
change jerseys.  Identification of captains
– Team Captains and alternates will wear a
“C” or “A” on their jersey.  These players
shall also be identified on the team roster.
They are the only players who may discuss
game situations with the referees.  If none
of the team captains or alternates are
present, the team will appoint a bench
captain for the game and notify the referee
of this before the start of the game.

Equipment:  All players are required to
wear full hockey equipment.  
	Required Equipment: (all equipment must be
approved for ice hockey use)
		Helmet
		Elbow pads
		Mid-section protection – hockey pants or
girdle/shell
		Gloves
		Knee/shin protectors
		Hockey Skates

Misconduct Penalties:
If a player receives 5 penalties in a game,
the player will receive a game misconduct
for that game and will be suspended for the
next 2 games. After a player receives 4
penalties that player must leave the game
immediately.
1st game misconduct – 2 game suspension
2nd game misconduct – 5 game suspension
3rd game misconduct – suspended for the
rest of the season and forfeits any fees
already paid

Fighting Major/Major Intent to Injure
1st – 3 game suspension
2nd – 6 game suspension
3rd – suspended for the rest of the season
and forfeits any fees already paid.
Any suspended player, playing in a game
while suspended, will get an 8 game
suspension.  Physical abuse of referees:
any player who physically abuses the
referees will be permanently expelled from
the league forfeiting any fees already paid.

Suspensions – The suspended player list
will be posted on the league web site and on
the league bulletin board.  Any suspended
player, playing in a game while suspended,
will get an 8 game suspension and that team
will forfeit that game.

Team Rosters
There is no limit on the number of players
on team roster; however, the league limits
the number of players on the bench to 18
skaters and 2 goalies per game.  Team
rosters will be frozen 60 days after the
start of the season. Players will not be
allowed to be added to the roster unless the
team can prove that a player has moved out
of the area or has left the team due to
medical reasons.  A player can only be
rostered on 1 team, in only 1 league.
Violation of this will result in player
suspension and game forfeit.  Minimum game
requirement for eligibility for playoffs:
Players who are on the roster at the start
of the season have a 6 game requirement.
Players who are added to the roster after
the start of the season must play a minimum
of 6 games to be eligible to participate in
the playoffs.  Players must complete
registration forms 48 hours before playing.

Schedule Changes
Teams that have conflicts with published
schedule times have three choices.
1.	Show up and play the game
2.	Not show up and forfeit
3.	Contact the opposing team captain and
get agreement to re-schedule the game.  Both
captains must email the league no later than
14 days before game time.  There will be a
rescheduling fee of $125 charged to the team
requesting the rescheduling if this request
is less than 14 days before the scheduled
game.  (There is minimal ice time available
for re-scheduling of adult league games.
Final approval of request for re-scheduling
a game will be made by the HOCKEY DIRECTOR)

Standings

Division standings will be updated weekly
(Friday) on the League web site.

Tiebreakers for teams tied in the league
standings at the end of the regular season:
1.	Most overall wins;
2.	Points awarded in head-to-head
competition;
3.	Higher GF/GA differential in
head-to-head competition;
4.	Fewest goals allowed against all teams;
