League Philosophy The philosophy of the SL County Youth 3 on 3 Hockey is to bolster skills such as passing, shooting, and team play in a fun, recreational but competitive and educational setting. Every effort is made to ensure fair play and sportsmanship among players and coaches. Equal opportunity is stressed for every player. 2. Game Format Each time slot is 1 hour 15 minutes. Each time slot has 3 twenty minute games, i.e. each team plays 3 games. Each time slot will begin with a 5 minute warm-up. Each game will have 2-ten minute halves, running-time with a 1 minute break between periods. After the conclusion of the first game, there is a 1 minute break, the teams then rotate to their next scheduled game. Each game will have one referee. The referee is responsible for calling penalties, and overall game management. A game supervisor will oversee the general management of the games each week. 3. The Rink The ice surface is divided into 3 sections. Games are played in each end from the blue line to the end boards and cross-ice. The neutral zone acts as a player’s bench as well as the coaches and officials area. Across each blue line will be a barrier to help keep pucks in play. Nets will be placed approximately 4 feet from the side dasher boards. 4. Rules No checking for all divisions. Penalties result in a penalty shot from “center ice” for the offended team. The five players not taking the penalty shot may back check the shooter starting from the far boards on the referee’s whistle. Once the penalty shot has been taken, a face off takes place if a goal is scored. If not, the puck is live and play continues. Face-offs are only held after goals are scored. Change on the fly is a from designated “change zone” only. This area, approximately from the neutral zone off-side dots to the boards, acts as the player’s bench. If a puck leaves the playing area, the referee determines which team caused the stoppage. The puck is then given to the other team in the area the puck was lost. The team not given the puck must back up a reasonable distance before they can be challenge the puck carrier. If a shot on goal results in the goalie “covering” the puck, then the puck is given to the defensive team and play is resumed. The team not given the puck must back up to at least half ice pass before they can challenge the puck carrier. No overtime and no time outs. Standings will not be kept or posted. Game scores will not be kept. More Information on the next page → 5. Teams Each team will consist of a minimum of 4 skaters and a maximum of 9 skaters (see the section #7 for goalie information). Teams may be entered as a combined unit, and/or teams will be created by program manage- ment from individual registrations. See the last page for full details on entering teams. SL County Administration can add independent players to any team until the maximum number of skaters (9) is reached. Maximum of 36 skaters and 4 goalies per age division. Each team will have a volunteer coach or coaches. Coaches are to be on skates and remain in the neutral zone during the games. Coaches MUST wear helmets while on the ice! Teams will have matching jerseys except for goaltenders which will have the same color jersey. Teams will be rotated in order to play each of the other teams each week. Teams can be composed of travel team players, recreational players or a combination of both. 6.

Pre-requisites *Participation in the 3 on 3 program is generally restricted to players with previous ice hockey experience. All Salt Lake County ice facilities offer Learn To Play hockey programs to prepare your child to play on a County Youth League team. The Learn To Play program teaches the basics of the game and gives your child the necessary individual skills and confidence to fully enjoy their participation in county hockey programs. For more information on the Learn To Play program, contact Chris at the Acord Ice Center, 385.468.1970; Alan at the County Ice Center, 385.468.1655 or Shannon at the SLC Sports Complex, 385.468.1918. *Players must have completed at least one season in an organized hockey league such as the Salt Lake County Youth Hockey League or an equivalent level of play to play in the Summer 3 on 3 program. THE SUMMER 3 ON 3 PROGRAM IS NOT FOR CURRENT LEARN-TO-PLAY PLAYERS. AS IT IS VERY COMPETITIVE AND ABOVE THEIR CURRENT ABILITIES.

Emails received outside of this window will not count. This is the fairest way to give every- one an equal chance. All individuals on the roster submitted by the coach will be registered without payment before individ- ual registration begins. Once individual registration begins (March 16th) these players will be able to pay their individual fee at the County Ice Center or online.
