Atlantic Youth Hockey League Midget AAA Overtime Procedure

Ryan Honig, Atlantic Youth Hockey League Referee-in-Chief, asked us to pass the following message along to all member of the Atlantic District Officiating Program:

The Atlantic Youth Hockey League has decided to implement an Overtime Procedure for all Tier I Midget AAA 18U & 16U games only effective immediately.

The following rule was issued by the League:

Midget Divisions: In all Midget AYHL League Games that end in a tie after regulation time ends, the teams shall play a four (4) on four (4) Sudden-Death Five (5) Minute Overtime Period. There must be at least 10 minutes remaining in the ice slot. Both teams will be credited with 1 point each for the tie. The team scoring in Overtime will be credited with a “Bonus Point."

Notes:

  • Overtime occurs with time permitting in the ice slot. There must be at least 10 minutes left in the ice slot.
  • Teams do not change ends.
  • No ice cut.
  • Timeout permitted during overtime period provided it was not used in regulation time.
  • If the Sudden Death Overtime period does not produce a winner the game remains tied.
  • If a team receives a penalty in Overtime, the teams will play 4 on 3. If the same team is assessed a second penalty before the first one expires, then the penalties will “stack".

This is not a discretionary rule. If the game is tied and at least 10 minutes remain in the ice slot, then the Overtime must be played.

Please make note of this addition. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email at ayhlric [at] yahoo.com.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
