2.       Eligibility Clarification

*All players must be registered on both Hockey Manitoba Forms, and the MHSAA Online registration.

-          No additions permitted to MHSAA eligibility form after NOVEMBER 10 of current year.

-          AP players must be included on MHSAA eligibility sheet by the deadline date.

-          Maximum of 25 players (including A.P.'s).  The players must be playing regularly on your team. You cannot place a player on MHSAA eligibility sheet, and then hope to use the player in January, after Hockey Manitoba cut dates.  AP players are to be used only in case of injury to rostered players.

1.        Format

The “AA” Championships will be a six (6) team round robin tournament divided into two pools of three teams each. The “AAAA” Championship will be eight (8) teams, single elimination.

2.        OVERTIME

In Provincials, overtime will consist of one or two -10 minute periods (depending on rink time availability).  This sudden death period will be 5 on 5.  If there is time for a second 10 minute period, it will be 4 on 4.  (if time permits, the OT periods would continue with 4 on 4)

After that it will be a shoot out with each team selecting 5  players to shoot.  If the score is still tied, then it will be a group of 3 different shooters.  If still tied, then it will be one on one with different shooters until a team reaches 12 shooters and then they can begin to reuse players

Penalties

No team will have fewer than three skaters in overtime, so if a team is penalized in overtime, the other team would add a player rather than the penalized team removing a player. In any case, the penalized player would still serve his or her penalty.
