U10 Division Rules

 Changes in BOLD from 2025.

U10 Division Rules:

1. U10 games will be played on full ice
2. Teams are asked to be ready 15 minutes prior to their scheduled game-time.
3. Tournament style - Medal rounds.
4. Scores will be kept. Player standings will not be displayed
5. There is a maximum goal spread of five (5) goals
6. Maximum goals scored by one athlete will be 3 per game. Any additional goals will not contribute to the overall score. This does not apply to overtime or shootouts.
7. Expectations are there will be fair play and equal playing time for all athletes.
8. Shooters will rotate through the 5 selected shooters named at the beginning of the game. In the event no winner is declared, the same 5 shooters will continue to shoot in listed order.

For further clarity :

• Maximum # of goals does not apply to shootouts. A player with 3 goals can be selected to participate in a shootout.
• Minor officials will record what happens during the game in full. Tournament officials will then review game sheets. If the spread is too large or there are too many goals by one player, the official reported score will be adjusted to ensure conformity with these 3 goal/player and 5 goal spread.
• Minor officials will record goals on the game sheet as they occur, however only goals which contribute to the final score will be shown on the scoreboard. The scoreboard reflects the adjusted score with all “over three” goals removed. This score will be used to determine OT play.
• Overtime : Before proceeding to overtime, minor officials must ensure that the tied score does not contain more than 3 goals from any one athlete. For Example, if Team “A” has 5 goals and Team “B” has 5 goals but one of the goals from Team A was the fourth goal scored by player #11 then the game cannot proceed to overtime and Team B is the winner.
• Colt Organizers  will have monitors in the arenas to ensure fair play rules are followed.
