Playoffs
1. PLAYOFF ELIGIBILITY – SPARE GOALTENDERS
In the playoffs, a team may enlist any playoff eligible goaltender as a spare so long as they are currently registered with another CUCHL team playing at the same level (i.e. A, B, or C) they are playing at (or lower). The spare goaltender can only be used by the team if their full-time (or eligible backup) goaltender is unavailable, and if permission is granted by the league. Any goaltender that qualifies for playoffs on two teams in different divisions is considered a higher division goaltender for the purposes of sparing.
2. SKILL LEVELS – PLAYERS
PLAYOFF ELIGIBILITY IS RESTRICTED TO ONE CUCHL DIVISION. For players skating with more than one team, the highest division they are participating in will be used to determine eligibility (e.g. a player that plays for an ‘A’ team and a ‘C’ team will be restricted to the ‘A’ team roster during the playoffs, assuming conditions of rule 2.2 are met).
3. Overtime
PLAYOFF GAMES
Period 3 5 minutes (stop time) 3 on 3 + goaltender
Period 4 shootout 3 shooters
For period 4 the following will occur:
· Goalies do not change ends;
· The home team will choose which team shoots first;
· Referees use CHA procedures for penalty shot.
Any penalty in the fourth period, that has not expired, will eliminate the penalized player from shootout participation.
After a player has taken their shot, he/she must report to the penalty box and not return to the players’ bench.
Following the first three shooters, sudden victory will decide the game winner (i.e. one team scores, the other does not). All players must shoot before any player takes a second shot. The deciding factor will be the smaller bench strength, before a player takes a second shot.
LEAGUE FINAL
Period 3 10 minutes (stop time) 5 on 5 sudden victory
Period 4 10 minutes (stop time) 4 on 4 sudden victory
Period 5 10 minutes (stop time) 3 on 3 sudden victory
Period 6 shootout 3 shooters
