EVENT:
Teams will consist of 5 skaters and 1 goalie. Only 4 players and the goalie can be on the rink at any given time. The 5^th skater is used for substitution during the game or for injury. Competition is offered in Open division.

COMPETITION DURATION:
The number of team entries will dictate the competition length. All teams are guaranteed a minimum of 3 games. Minimum length for the competition will be one day, but may continue to a second day.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
Uniforms: All teams must wear identical jerseys. It is requested that teams have a home and away jersey. When considering the type of jersey to be worn, teams should be advised that competition will take place outdoors (covered rink). Jerseys should have a unique number on the back of the jersey for each competitor.

Equipment: Each player is required to wear a helmet (preferably HECC approved), shin guards, gloves and elbow pads. Wheels for skates are determined by the player, but the surface to be used is concrete with a roll-on coating. Teams should bring roller hockey pucks with them for warm-ups.

A copy of these rules will be provided to the coaches at the game site.

The hockey coordinator at the rink will discuss the unsportsmanlike rules with the coaches/team captain. Unsportsmanlike conduct such as any serious violation (fighting, violence towards players or officials) will result in suspension from the games.

Protests: Judgment calls may not be protested. Only eligibility of players may be protested by the opposing team. Protests must be in writing no later than 15 minutes after the protested game has ended and be accompanied by a $100 protest fee. The $100 protest fee will be returned if the protest is won.

Time-outs: No time-outs can be called during the Iron-Man competition.

Game Time: The game will consist of one 15 minute running clock period. Any penalties called will result in an automatic penalty shot. The clock will stop during the set up of the penalty shot. The clock will start again when the shooter touches the puck for the penalty shot. The only other time that the clock will stop is at the referees’ discretion for an injury.
