Graham Tuer—Welcome Message
Welcome to Hockey Regina’s Graham Tuer Bantam AA
challenge and another season of player development and fun.
This Tournament is a sure sign that the 2016 / 17 hockey
season is off and running. We are proud to once again
welcome twenty-nine teams from all across Western Canada.
The advantage of teams attending an early season
tournament is that players and coaches can assess their skill
levels and set goals in order to meet the challenges of the
new season. The start of the new season is a time of great
enthusiasm and optimism . My wish for all participants is
that this energy brings you great success.
We ask parents, teams and players to join together again this
season with the goal of sharing in the benefits that flow
from great sportsmanship.
Please enjoy your stay with us and ensure that all of the
teams and players receive your enthusiastic support
and respect.

Suspensions: If the player is suspended in league play they have to serve their

For example if player A was given a 1 game suspension in his last league
game prior to the tournament he could play after sitting out the first game
of the tournament. No player who is suspended in her/his regular league
can play in the Tournament until her/his suspension is lifted by their
regular league officials.
2. Rule Infractions
Score sheets will be constantly monitored and any team caught breaking
the rules will be penalized accordingly, without an appeal by the opposing coach.
There is a 7 goal maximum differential allowed.
Tournament Rules
FACE OFF LOCATION AFTER A PENALTY - When players are penalized at a stoppage of
play, so as to result in penalties to be placed on the penalty time clock to one team, the en-
suing face off shall be conducted at one of the two face off spots in the offending team's end
zone. There are only four exceptions :
a. When a penalty is assessed after the scoring of a goal. ( face off at centre ice )
b. When a penalty is assessed at the end or start of a period. ( face off at centre ice )
c. When the defending team is about to be penalized and the attacking players enter the at-
tacking zone beyond the outer edge of the end zone face off circle. " Must keep two men
back of face off circle on a scrum". ( face off in neutral zone )
d. When the team not being penalized ices the puck. ( face off in the
neutral zone outside the blueline of the team icing the puck )
Following a stoppage of play for an ICING infraction from the defensive zone, the offending
team is prohibited from making any player change until play has resumed. The team that is
in violation of this rule shall not be permitted to make any player
substitutions prior to the ensuing face off . Should the stoppage of play following an icing
infraction coincide with the offending team electing to utilize their team time out at this stop-
page of play, they are permitted to make player substitutions. A team shall be
permitted to make a player substitution to replace a goalkeeper who had been
substituted for an extra player, to replace an injured player/goalkeeper or when a
penalty has been assessed that effects their on ice strength. The determination of
players on the ice will be made when the puck leaves the offending player's stick in the de-
fensive zone. If a team persists in changing players after they have iced the puck and warned
by the
referee, the referee shall assess to the offending team, a bench minor.

Points will be awarded in the Round Robin as follows:
Win - 2 Points Tie - 1 Point Loss - 0 Points
In the case of a tie for first place in a Pool at the conclusion of the Round

* the winner of the game between the two tied teams; or
* If that game ended in a tie, the team with the better Round Robin record
of goals for and against (goals for minus goals against, divided by goals
or plus goals against - highest fraction wins); or
* if again there is a tie; the team that scores the first goal in the game between the two tied
teams.

* If a tie still exists, then the provisions of sections (1) and (3) above, in that order, will be
applied.
