POST GAME TREATS (Ideas & Guidelines)

After a game, players may require replenishment of liquids they may have lost during the game. Consider drinks that are natural (apple or orange juice without sweeteners, water and sports drinks for the older ages) rather than soft drinks (cola's, etc.) ....

SO YOU WANT TO BE A TEAM MOM/TEAM DAD!!!

...BUT KNOW LITTLE or NOTHING ABOUT HOCKEY
No Problem .... read the following ...

The Basics!
Hockey teams move a puck along the ice using stick handling, passing, and shooting in an effort to score goals. A goal counts as one point and is scored when the puck completely crosses the opposing goal line between the posts and under the crossbar. The team scoring the greater number of goals in the allotted time wins the game.

What's Needed?

Skates, hockey stick, hockey gloves, shoulder, shin, and elbow pads, CSA approved helmet with face mask and chin strap, neck guard, mouth guard (optional but recommended), hockey pants, garter belt, and athletic supporter with cup.

How Long Is A Game?
A professional game is divided into three equal periods, separated by fifteen-minute breaks.

"A" teams and House League Teams operate within the Mississauga Hockey League rules which are 3 ten minute stop time periods which begin with a “face-off” at the center circle. If a team is more than 5 goals ahead of the other, then there is no stop time during the final 5 minutes of the game. Teams switch playing sides after each period and are allowed one time-out per game.

Ice Puppy (4-6 Year Olds) teams play a 39 minute game with a change of lines every 3 minutes. No score is kept at Ice Puppy games.
