--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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. 

OFFICIALS:
Referee must be a least 3 years senior to the age category in which  they are officiating.

For the two man system for Atom Games it is preferred that one referee is 18 years of age or older and both referees must be at least a Level II.

GAMES:
U11 and U13 Games must be 3 – 15 minute periods.

U15 and U18 Games must be 2 – 15 minute periods with the 3^rd period being 20 minutes. The ice surface is to be resurfaced between 2nd and 3rd periods. 

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.
  No OVERTIME shall be played in round robin play.
 

Round Robin Standings Tie Breakers: a) winner of game between two teams       b) team with most wins         c) best goal average (Total Goals/Total Goals For + Goals Against)     d) first goal scored between tied teams       e) least penalty minutes
Hockey Manitoba AP Rules All other affiliation regulations as indicated in the Hockey Manitoba regulations continue to apply. 78. Players must affiliate from a lower category within the same age division.  IF affiliating from a lower age division,        player must affiliate from an equal or lower category. Example:  Eastman U-13 B can affiliate from Eastman U13 C Eastman U-13 B can only affiliate from Eastman U-11 B or C – They CANNOT AP from    U-11 A as that is a higher level 79.  Teams may add eligible affiliate players to supplement their rosters as follows:        a) Atom & Peewee:  uo to 13 skaters and 2 goalies            b) Bantam and Midget:  up to 15 skaters and 2 goalies
