SECTION 54. a. If the score
is tied at the end of three regulation 20-minute periods, the following shall
take place: (1) There shall be a
two-minute intermission. (2) The teams shall not
change ends. (3) A five-minute period
shall be played. (4) The team that scores
first wins and the game is ended. If a goal is not scored in the five-minute
period, the game shall be declared a tie. b. Any overtime period
shall be considered part of the game and all unexpired penalties shall remain in
force. c. If either team declines
to play in the necessary overtime period, the game shall be declared a loss for
that team. 1. At the end of the
five-minute overtime period, the head official will instruct the timekeeper to
put two minutes on the clock and immediately start the clock. 2. The other two officials
will request a list of five shooters from each coach. 3. The head official will
meet at center ice with the captains to explain the protocol during the
two-minute period. 4. The goalkeepers remain
in the same ends as the overtime period. 5. The home team has the
option of shooting first or defending first. If Team A’s first three players
score, while none of Team B’s players score, the shootout is over and Team A
advances. 6.
If the shootout remains tied
at the end of the first round, the same five players will shoot again in the
same order, this time in a sudden death situation. Each team has an equal number
of chances to shoot before a winner is declared. • Players serving penalty time shall not
be eligible for the shootout. • If a shooter is injured in the
shootout, the player may be replaced in subsequent rounds by a player off the
bench. • If a goalkeeper is injured in the
shootout, the goalkeeper may be immediately replaced by a goalkeeper off the
bench. The injured goalkeeper may not reenter the shootout. • All players not participating in the
shootout must be on the bench. Players participating in the shootout shall stay
in the neutral zone at their respective bench area during the shootout. • Goalkeepers may be substituted, but no
warm-up time will be allowed.
