Pre-Game Procedure

Ahead of the new season we are bringing some changes to the pre-game procedure to create a more organised and professional running of games.


  1. When you arrive at venue check scorekeeper has your correct roster. Mark what players are present/not-present and up date numbers as necessary.
  2. After previous game has ended (if applicable) the rink will be cleared of all players, etc.
  3. Referees take to floor first when ready and check for any issues with playing area.
  4. When referees are ready to start warmup, they will call teams to floor. Teams do not enter the floor prior to this point. 
  5. Scorer starts countdown on clock with time to puck drop, which will be 5 minutes.
  6. When teams first enter floor, captains are to go greet referees, where they will be reminded of the focus on stick penalties, obstruction and unsportsmanlike conduct, including that players protesting a call is unsportsmanlike conduct.
  7. Referees will greet team staff if appropriate.
  8. Horn goes at 1 min left in warmup to warn teams it is ending.
  9. Game begins.
  10. At end of game captain is to sign game-sheet and/or agree stats on Rsportz.


As already mentioned there are to be no club pucks on game days. All teams will be provided with 10 pucks prior to warm-up. These are to be returned after warm-up and any missing pucks will be charged.

Please also note that queries regarding minor penalties or minor incidents can be discusses at half-time, end of game or a time-out.

All the best this season!
