Games and Rules:
 
All games are to consist of two halves of 22—1/2 minutes with an ice resurfacing between the two halves, except the championship game that will consist of three 15-minute periods.
 
Games will be played under NCAA Rules. Minor penalties will be 1 minute and 30 seconds. Major penalties will be 3 minutes and 45 seconds, and Misconduct penalties will be 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
 
No team may use more than twenty-one (21) players (including goalies) in a game. The tie-breaking procedure for all games except the championship final will be as follows: one seven-and-a-half minute "sudden death" period will be played. If the game is still tied, there will be a three-man "shoot out". If this results in a tie, there will then be a "sudden death" shoot out: with no player shooting more than once. (The original three having moved to the bottom of the order of shooters.) If the championship final game is tied, a five minute "sudden death" overtime period will be played and then fifteen minute overtime periods until a verdict is reached. Warm-up periods for each game will be seven minutes.
