Competitive Division $600
The Competitive Division is considered the most advanced division of the Evergreen Pond Hockey
Tournament. This division is for men and women 18 years and older. Some competitive teams
carry former NHL players, Division 1 hockey players, college or high school greats. Each team
will be guaranteed a minimum of three games Saturday with the top teams advancing to the finals
on Sunday. These teams may have up to 8 players with 4 on the ice at a time.
The remaining two teams will compete for the championship.

pond, but may not have the skills to compete against former NHL, college or high school players.
Each team will be guaranteed a minimum of three games Saturday with the top teams advancing
to the finals on Sunday. These teams may have up to 8 players with 4 on the ice at a time.
The remaining two teams will compete for the championship.

Published August 30, 2023Official Evergreen Pond Hockey Championship Rules
1. The winner of a captain’s coin toss will determine which goal to defend. Teams will
switch goals after the first half.
2. All players must wear a helmet, gloves and hockey skates. Additional protective equip-
ment is optional but highly recommended.
3. No goalie equipment or goalie sticks permitted.
4. All teams must have light and dark jerseys or uniforms.
5. There will be one off-ice pond official to monitor the play (scoring, time, puck reset, and
arbiter of infractions).
6. Penalties will be called for rule infractions. Penalties called by referees are final. A minor
penalty will result in possession of the puck awarded to the opposing team. Referees will
have the discretion to also award a goal to the opposing team when a minor penalty is
flagrant and/or a team is consistently playing in a reckless manner.
7. Any major penalty, which includes any action that could possibly injure another player,
will result in that player being ejected from the tournament. The team that received the
ejection will play the remainder of the tournament short-handed (3 vs. 4). Off-ice pond
official will determine major penalties. Any player fighting will be ejected from the tour-
nament and team shall play with minus one player (3 vs. 4).
8. Abuse of officials will be considered a major penalty. This includes yelling, swearing, or
arguing about calls.
9. No checking is allowed. Such action will result in a minor penalty unless deemed serious
enough to be a major (see off-ice pond official).
10. No slap shots allowed. Such action will result in a minor penalty.
11. Players cannot fall or lay on the ice in an effort to protect the goal area. Such action will
result in a minor penalty.
12. Goaltending is not allowed. A player may not patrol, “camp out” or remain stationary
in the crease area and act as a goaltender. A defender may deflect the puck in the crease
area, but the defender must do so while continuing to move through the crease area. The
crease area is defined as an imaginary box extending out four feet from the outside cor-
ners of the goal.
13. Contacting the puck with a stick above the waist will result in a loss of possession.
14. Saucer passes (i.e. pucks that are lifted low, below the knee) are acceptable.
15. If a puck goes out of bounds, the last team to touch it loses possession. During restart, the
defender must give his opponent 2-stick lengths of space.
16. There are no off-sides or icing calls.
17. Goals must be scored from the attacking side of center ice.
18. Referees will call out the score after each goal. This includes goals scored by players or
awarded from minor penalties.
19. Teams must give their opponents 1/2 ice after a goal is scored or an infraction takes
place.
20. Games will be composed of two 15-minute halves with a 2-minute halftime.
21. In the event of a tie during both qualifying and championship games, the play will move
to sudden death format.

Published August 30, 202322. All games are running-time and substitutions can be made during play (“on-the-fly”) or
while a puck is being retrieved. There is no stoppage of play after a goal is scored, or
after a penalty is awarded. It is up to each team to ensure that there are only four players
on the ice.
23. Each team will play a minimum of 3 games during the tournament. If a team has 3 losses
they will be eliminated from the tournament. Substitutions must be made by 6:30 AM
on the first day of tournament play. No other substitutions throughout the tournament are
allowed. The four to eight players that are on your roster at 6:30 AM on the first day of
tournament play must be the same players that play on your team throughout the tourna-
ment.
24. Setting picks in offensive zone is not allowed. Deference will be given to a defender in
front of their own net where their progress is impeded by the pick or interference of an
offensive player.
25. All players must visibly display their credentials during the game. Players without cre-
dentials are not allowed to play.
26. Players can only play on one team and players must be at least 18 years old to compete.
