2018 Haverhill Cup Rules and Schedule

The 7th HC is less than 24 hours away and it’s only fitting to post the rules and schedule as if something has changed from all the previous Haverhill Cups.

-Games will be 14 minutes long consisting of two 7 minutes halves with a 1 minute intermission.
-Games ending in a tie will go to a shootout in which every player has to participate in (goalies optional) if it goes past 3 rounds. Keeping the order in which players took their turn.
-All penalties, tripping, hooking, a one handed nick type slash, arguing, complaining, high-sticking(faces and ball and hockey balls) will result in a penalty shot. 2 penalties in one game will result in loss of player for rest of game. A penalty that draws blood results in 2 penalties and ejection from game.
- Seems to be some confusion on this next rule. Only a player drafted as a goalie can put on Goalie pads unless there’s an injury.  A teams goalie can play out or run around playing out with goalie pads on and using a player stick if he so desires.
- A goalie can not cover the ball behind the net while out of his crease. If he does he will receive a warning first and then Penalized. It’s a good strategy in Montreal, but it’s not fun in the HC.
- After scoring a goal a team must clear to center ice
- If a ball gets stuck in the fence, it’s first person there. If the ball goes out of playoff one team, it’s the other teams ball

Can we add a rule that says:

The referee makes all final decisions, and in the absence of his seeing a play, he may choose to consult with whomever he chooses to make all calls, even if that means he reverses a call and it hurts your feelings. All whining shall be rewarded with a penalty shot.

Also, Frendon cannot be referee.

Nick said...

We should put a ref at each net.

Brett said...

All refs calls are final. If he didn’t see it they can ask players not playing in the game. But final decision still rests on ref. And Frendon will never be allowed to ref. He can bring the ref whistle and jersey tho

Refs are usually a captain from a team not playing
