A player can only play for one team unless he is an authorized affiliated player who has
been approved by the proper authorities. Such exception must be reviewed with the
Tournament registration office prior to the game. A player who plays for a regular team
that is accepted to the tournament cannot play for another team.

Body checking is strictly prohibited.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament may ask teams to provide us with a video (s) of their team
taken during a match or a practice match, the goal being to form a game division homogeneous, competitive and
attractive to all.

The players must come from the same club or the same association.

If, due to a lack of players, a club or association has to supplement its squad with one or more outside players, they
must ask us to do so and make sure that they are not of a much higher caliber than the rest of the team.

If certain players of the team do not appear on the videos that will have been sent to us and it turns out that, on
the spot, they are of a largely superior caliber to the point of completely distorting the results of the matches, the
management committee of the Tournament reserves the right to suspend the player (s) in question for the duration
of the Tournament matches.

It is very important that all documents be returned on or before the deadline.

Unless prescribed by a doctor, the use of oxygen or any other medical substance is strictly forbidden.

Any player who has been suspended in his league cannot participate in a tournament game unless his suspension
has been purged. No suspension can be applied to an exhibition game.

For television purposes it might be necessary to modify the original schedule of some games. Teams affected by
these changes will be advised within a reasonable time.

Neck protectors are recommended but not mandatory for teams from outside Canada.

Mouth guard protectors are recommended but not mandatory for teams from outside Quebec.

Using the tournament logo without the Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament approval is strictly
prohibited. Action will be taken against illegal users.

photographic and publicity rights for cards reproduction or for other use made by the Tournament such as social medias.
