2023-24 THF

Gameday Protocols

All THF regular season games and Showcase games at the Squirt through Midget levels will be played under USAH rules unless noted below.

All THF games will be scored on an iPad using GameSheet. Both referees must sign the GameSheet scoresheet on the iPad and lock the game and the end of each game played. The Home team will supply the two volunteers for the iPad scoring and the score clock. The Scorekeeper will provide the Head coaches and on-ice officials with the iPad image of the scoresheet immediately after the conclusion of the game for their final approval and signature. The scoresheet will automatically upload to the THF website and standings once the iPad is connected to Wi-Fi. Please connect to Wi-Fi after each game if there is no signal in the scorebox.

Warm-up time will be a minimum of 3 minutes for all levels
- 9U, 10U, 11U, and 12U games will be 3 - 15-minute periods, and the ice slot

Running Clock:

If the goal differential is 5 or greater during the third period, the clock shall be set to running time. No adjustments to penalty times will be made. If a penalty expires during a play stoppage, the player may not leave the penalty box until the puck is dropped at the next faceoff.

Regular Season Overtime Format:

All league regular season games remaining tied at the end of the third period will be decided by a 5-minute, running time, 3v3 sudden death overtime.
In 3 v 3 sudden death overtime teams will defend the same net that is defended in period (2), (ie long change).
If the game is still tied at the end of overtime, the game will end in a tie
