The Wonderland Wizards Youth Hockey Association will use the following format when hosting required CHC cross-ice games at the Mite A and B travel team level where possible.
Format
Two half-ice games will be played concurrently.
Each team will be divided into two smaller teams, each having a goaltender.
Play will be 4 on 4 plus a goaltender.
There will be a 3:00 warm-up period with opposing teams in their respective zones.
Teams will play two (2), 20:00 mini games with 2:00 in between games (the home team will rotate opponents).
The scoreboard horn will sound every 2:00 to indicate a line change.
The clock will continue to run during changes.
Players for both teams will share the bench on their half of the ice.
Face offs will be used to start each game and following each goal.
No referees will be used. One coach from each team will manage the game in each zone.
A penalty shot will be awarded if a scoring chance is negated by a clear penalty (trip, etc.).
Penalties other then on a scoring chance will not be called but pointed out to the player by their coach.
No score will be kept.
At the end of the 2nd 20:00 minute period there will be a shootout with all goalies participating.
Equipment
Four regulation sized nets. If 4 goalies are not available, we will use mini hockey goals without goalies where needed.
Borders to divide the ice at the center red line.
Scoreboard (for time only).
Blue pucks.
Score Sheets
Score sheets should be completed with roster game labels,indicating a 0-0 score and emailed to the CHC 8U Mite Director. All Mite cross-ice scoresheets are to be submitted by the home team regardless.
