2. Winner of the head to head matchup in round robin (If applicable)
3. Total Goals for divided by the sum of Total Goals For + Total Goals Against

Semi- Final and Final Game:
- 10-10-12 game length with 1-30 second time out per team
- If the game is tied after three periods a 5 minute run time period of 3 on 3 will occur.
- If a penalty is taken the clock will stop. An additional player from the other team can join the ice and play 4 on 3 till the penalty expires. Once a stoppage in play happens after the penalty is over, we will resort back to 3 on 3 play.
- Shift on the fly rule.
- If the game remains tied after the 5 minute 3 on 3 it will proceed to a shootout.
Referees will ask Coaches to select 3 players to shoot.
o One shooter will proceed at a time, best of three is the winner.
o If after 3 shooters the game is still tied then it will be a sudden death 1 vs 1 shooter.
o No player can repeat as a shooter till the entire team is used.
Our schedule is very tight over the 3 days. After the final game, we will award the winning team their championship medals, parents or a team rep can take a picture from the bench.
No parents or siblings on the ice at any time.
