Three Penalty Rule for Local League
If a player accumulates three penalty infractions in a Local League game, that player is immediately ejected from the game. The penalized player shall not serve the third penalty, they must go directly to the dressing room and a player that was on the ice at the time of the infraction must serve the penalty.
NOTE: A Double Minor (e.g. 4-minute Head Contact will count as one penalty infraction).
A Penalty Shot does not count as one of the three penalty infractions.
It is the responsibility of the Team Staff to ensure the penalized player does not participate in any further play, even if the Referees differ in opinion. Failure to comply with this rule will result in an automatic game suspension for the electronically rostered coach who was registered as the head coach on the game sheet of the offending player and will cause the team to forfeit the game regardless of the score of the game. The score to be recorded as the worse of the actual score and 1 – 0.
