At the time of registration, the minimum number of players to avoid a forfeit in the sport must be registered and paid. A team may add individuals to their official roster through the regular season on IMLeagues or at the Intramural Sports Office (located on the 3rd floor of the Student Recreation Center). Rosters will freeze once the regular season ends. An individual is added to the team’s roster only after payment has been received and the Intramural Staff deems the individual as an eligible participant. All players participating in a game must be listed on the game’s scorecard. The players who are listed on the scorecard will be officially added to a team’s roster and will appear on all future scorecards under that team’s name. All players must be added to the official roster prior to the second week of the regular season to be eligible for the playoffs. II. Eligibility i. The following individuals may participate: A. Currently enrolled student at Western Michigan University who has paid the enrollment fee. B. Individual directly affiliated with Western Michigan University who has purchased a membership to the Student Recreation Center. C. Individual with a valid ID who has purchased a $30 Intramural Sports membership pass for the sport. D. Individual who complies with A, B, or C who has purchased a sub pass prior to the game. ii. Checking ID’s: Before a game all team members shall present a valid photo ID in order to participate. The player’s identity will be verified and noted correctly on the scorecard. All players listed on the scorecard and verified before the contest will be considered participants in that contest. Should a player not be verified, that player should be considered as an ineligible player. iii. Playing on Multiple Teams: A. Individuals may play on multiple teams as long as they are paid for on both rosters. B. No more than five (5) participants from one team may also play for a similar team. C. During playoffs, an individual who played on multiple teams during the regular season may continue to play for each of his/her teams. If his/her teams meet in the playoffs though, the individual must select what team he/she will play for prior to the game and only participate for that team during the contest. D. Goaltenders my play on multiple teams even if they have only paid for one. III. Forfeits: i. A team not ready to play or failing to appear at the designated date, time and location of the scheduled contest will forfeit that contest. ii. In order to be credited for a forfeit win, the team receiving the win must have the minimum number of participants required to start the game. iii. If a team forfeits a single game, regardless of sportsmanship, in order to be eligible for playoffs, they are responsible to pay a $20 reinstatement fee. In all sports, if an individual/team fails to appear or fails to have the required number of participants at the scheduled game time, the game will result in a forfeit. However, if they notify the Assistant Director of Intramural Sports and/or Graduate Assistants of Intramural Sports by noon the day of the scheduled game, their team will be assessed a default. A default is a game that is not played and is recorded as a loss but is not considered a forfeit. Captains will receive an email following the forfeit verifying that in order to be eligible playoffs they must pay the $20 reinstatement fee. However, teams must still meet the 3.0 sportsmanship requirement to be eligible for playoffs as well. iv. A team may waive the immediate forfeit win and wait 10 minutes for the opposing team to arrive. A. If a team decides to wait the 10 minutes, they must wait the entire 10 minutes. B. If 10 minutes after the scheduled game time passes and the opposing team still doesn’t have the required minimum number of players, the team present must accept the forfeit win. C. If the opposing team arrives before the 10-minute time limit has lapsed, the contest shall be played but the lapsed time will not be made up. D. Once a team decides to waive their right to an immediate forfeit win the team may not rescind their decision. E. If at game time both teams don’t have the minimum number of participants required to begin, the officials will wait 10 minutes, giving both teams an equal opportunity to acquire enough participants to play. v. If a team forfeits two (2) regular season games that team will immediately be removed from the league, forfeiting their right to play any of their remaining regular season games and not being allowed to participate in the playoffs.

HISTORY OF THE GAME Ice hockey originated in Canada in the 19th cen- tury. The first formal game was played in Kingston, Ontario in 1855. McGill University started playing ice hockey in the 1870s. W. L. Robertson, a student at McGill, wrote the first set of rules for ice hockey. Canada’s Governor General, Lord Stanley of Preston, offered a tro- phy to the winner of the 1893 ice hockey games. This was the origin of the now-famed Stanley Cup. Ice hockey was first played in the U. S. in 1893 at Johns Hopkins and Yale universities, respec- tively. The Boston Bruins was America’s first NHL hockey team. Ice hockey achieved Olym- pic Games status in 1922. Physical Education Learning Packets #23 Ice Hockey Text © 2006 The Advantage Press, Inc.

  • Ice Hockey: History and Rules
    Ice Hockey: History and Rules Read the short text about the history of ice hockey and answer the questions: The Origins of the Game Most historians place the roots of hockey in the chilly climates of northern Europe, specifically Great Britain and France, where field hockey was a popular summer sport more than 500 years ago. When the ponds and lakes froze in winter, it was not unusual for the athletes who fancied that sport to play a version of it on ice. Articles in London newspapers around that time mention increasing interest in the sport, which many observers believe got its name from the French word “hoquet”, which means a “bent stick.” A number of writers thought this game should be forbidden because it was so disruptive to people out for a leisurely winter skate. Hockey Comes to North America Not surprisingly, the earliest North American games were played in Canada. British soldiers organized contests on frozen ponds in Halifax in the 1870s, and about that same time in Montreal students from McGill University began facing off against each other in a downtown ice rink. Hockey became so popular that games were soon being played on a regular basis between clubs from Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal. The English Governor, Lord Stanley of Preston, was so impressed that in 1892 he bought a silver bowl with an interior gold finish and ordered that it would be given each year to the best amateur team in Canada. That trophy, of course, is known as the Stanley Cup and is awarded today to the winners of the National Hockey League playoffs.
