- Season 38 link updated


- some rules have been updated

High sticking and goalies, when the goalie is making a save then it is not considered high-stick, if they are just playing the ball over their waist then it is.

The points system for wins, ot loss etc. will stay the same as last year.

Some other rules of note you should pay attention to:

B) Fines and Multiplier –
• Automatic suspensions and fines are set as per the rules below
• For repeat offenders, i.e. if you receive a fine once you receive the stated amount, if it is your second fine within the last 3 seasons it will be multiplied by two. If it is your third fine in the last 3 season it will be multiplied by 3.
• 1st Offence in the last three seasons = stated amount
• 2nd Office in the last three seasons = X 2 stated amount
• 3rd Offence in the last three seasons = X 3 times stated amount

10. REFEREE ABUSE –

• A referee’s call is final; he may ask for a captain’s opinion or other spectators to make the right call.
• Players who go beyond the “regular” nature of clarifying a call will receive automatic 10 minute misconduct. This would include swearing at the referee. There will be ZERO tolerance to these types of actions. You swear at the referee you get a 10 minute misconduct, you swear again you’re out of the game. No questions or clarification required. This rule is similar to other leagues.
• The second such offence in a game will result in a game misconduct.
• A player that receives 4 such penalties will receive an automatic 2 game suspension + $10 fine (+ multiplier).
• EIHL Management can review these penalties depending on severity.
• Any one physically harming a referee (i.e. fighting, pushing, throwing something at him) will receive an automatic four (4) game suspension + $25 fine (+ multiplier).



21. PLAYERS ON PROBATION –

Extra suspensions are to be given to players already on probation. If a player on probation receives:
• 3 penalties in one game
• a major penalty (5 minutes or even a double minor)
• or a 5 minute or greater misconduct penalty in a game
• Delay of Game Penalties do not count with respect to this rule.

They will receive an automatic 1 game suspension + $10 fine (+ multiplier) the following game.

This will be in addition to any suspension that would be warranted by the infraction itself (i.e. if it was a body check etc.) If they are involved in any altercation (fight or attempted fight) they will be suspended for the remainder of the season.

If they are involved in any other serious infraction that warrants a longer suspension they will be given the maximum. Any attempts to complain, criticize or negatively comment on the verdict will result in the FULL suspension being handed out.

Also see the “Multiplier Rule” above (5.b) for increased fines for repeat offenders.


13. TEAM UNIFORMS –
• Teams must have all players dressed in the team color or very similar color. Players not wearing the team colour will serve a 10 minute misconduct and the team will receive a 2 minute penalty if the player plays.
• This rule takes effect in week 2 of every season.
• Goalies do not have to follow the color rule.
• The aim of this rule is to build team identity and to easily identify players when playing.
• Team colours will be determined by EIHL Management prior to the season.


a) Body Checking is not allowed period, anyone who throws a body check will receive a double roughing penalty (double minor – 2 X 2 minutes = 4 minutes) and a 10 minute misconduct (to be served after the penalty). A person who receives a second body check penalty in one game will receive a 5 minute major and game misconduct and an automatic 1 game suspension + $10 fine (+ multiplier).
