With the start of the Regional Provincial Play Down Games in Eastman,  there are a couple of reminders I would like to send out with respect to the Levels of the officials required to do games as well as the rules that apply to Provincial Play Down Games.

 
Please note that the New Eastman Minor 4 Penalty game ejection rule does not apply to any Provincial games played.

MERCY RULE- There is a 7 Goal Mercy Rule. In any game with a seven goal difference the clock shall be running time for the remainder of the game, unless the score difference becomes less than seven the clock would revert to stop time. Minor Penalties shall be 2 minutes in length whether playing stop time or running time.
