Rules

The duration of a game is 40 minutes (raw time).

The length of the shift is 90 seconds.
The games take place in two zones, 4 players + goalkeeper.

In the event of a change, there is no new throw-in, but the ice referee throws into the hole opposite the foam bench
in the direction of a new puck, which the players coming off the shift have the right to immediately skate to and
continue playing. The second, or previously played, puck is picked up by the ice referee and repeated
the described procedure in case of a new shift signal after 90 seconds

The team which is called out first is the home-team, and accordingly, the second called out team is the guest-team. The home-team plays in dark-colored forms, and consequently, the guest-team plays in the light-colored forms.

Only the players and coaches belonging to the team may be present in the bench.  The dressing rooms must be left clean after their usage.

The representatives of the tournament do not take responsibility for any team’s lost/damaged inventory or other personal belongings.

Penalties  

Body checking is not allowed in the U8age group.

In the case of a penalty, the player is removed until the end of the shift without a stoppage of play, i.e. without a whistle.
Illustrative example: If one player knocks down an opponent against the rules, the game continues without a whistle.
The referee leads the offending player off the ice to his bench and the game resumes immediately.
In the event that another player from the same shift, from the already penalized team, breaks the rules
and receives a penalty, the referee sends the offending player off the ice to the bench and the opposite team
there is an opportunity to play the advantage until the end of the shift. A situation arises where 5 players are playing
against 3 players. Penalties expire at the end of the shift.
