Branches or leagues choosing to play outside these rules will be subjected to discipline and will at a minimum, forfeit the right to Hockey Canada’s Insur- ance Program. However, during internal Branch competition, Branches may make variations to Hockey Canada Official Rules, providing these variations are more restrictive than the rules as written. A game should be refereed strictly in accordance with the rules. In individual cases, Referees may feel that the rules are in some respect not satisfactory. However, it is not up to an individual to de- cide if a rule should or should not be applied. Rules are approved by Hockey Canada’s membership and are to be changed only through the democratic process at given periods of time. Referees are directed to thoroughly apply the rules of the Association and of their Branch. If a Referee has difficulty in the interpretation of any rule, the Referee should consult with the Branch Referee-in-Chief. If such person cannot give a satisfactory interpretation, Hockey Canada’s Referee- in-Chief should be contacted. It is understandable that in a country of the geographic expanse of Canada, a uniform interpretation of the rules may prove somewhat difficult. That, however, is the goal which is to be aimed at, and if the rules are strictly adhered to in all parts of Canada, it should not be hard to come near achieving that goal. These playing rules become effective with the commencement of the 2012-2013 season.
