Rules and Policies
General SSH tournament rules and polices are in effect for this tournament with the exception that captains for this tournament have the option to add 3 more skaters than the 13 typically allowed. Any team who wishes to roster more than 13 skaters can do so for an additional fee of $40 for each skater over 13 (a maximum of 3, for a total of 16 eligible skaters). However, no more than 13 skaters may dress for any one game from that roster. We’ve added this as an option for those teams who want to always have 13 skaters for each and every game but might have skaters can’t make some games do to other obligations or unforeseen schedule changes.
Per our tournament rules, teams can have 2 rostered goalies. We encourage all teams to roster a backup goalie to be prepared for unforeseen schedule changes/issues/injuries with their primary goalie.
The top 2 teams will proceed to the final game in their respective level.
Level
- Lower Level (C) – 4 teams – This includes players at the intermediate level
Appropriate leveling is just one way that StinkySocks Hockey tournaments differs from others. We ask that captains keep things fair and enter their team into the division that is most appropriate for them. It is the captain’s responsibility to ensure compliance with the divisional policy, which has been developed as a system of checks and balances to ensure fair leveling within our divisions. If captains have any questions about levels or player eligibility, they are encouraged to call the league office to discuss before submitting their roster.
