Ironman Hockey
Dreamsports Center holds an annual Iron-man Hockey tournament the first Sunday of each year. This year, we are also hoping to host other Ironman tournaments throughout the year.
The following are our standard Iron-man rules:
-Each team is allowed 4 skaters and 1 goalie. These players are to remain the same throughout the entire tournament. (Exceptions: 8U teams and Adult Bronze teams)
-There is a 1 minute warmup before each game.
-All games will be 12 minutes long with a running clock throughout. All penalties will result in a penalty shot.
-All games start with an opening faceoff. This will be the only faceoff of the game.
-After a goal, the scoring team will retreat to the center red line and the puck will go behind the non-scoring team’s net. Once the puck comes back in front of the goal line, the puck will be considered in play, regardless of whether all the attacking team’s players have retreated behind the center red line.
-During round robin play, there is no overtime so games that end in a tie after 12 minutes will be a tie and each team will receive 1 point in the standings. During playoffs, any games that are tied after 12 minutes will proceed directly to a 3-person shootout.
-All other rules will follow the AAU rulebook. This includes the 3-penalty rule.
-If at any point a team loses a player due to ejection or injury, that team will forfeit the game.
