Hello all,
The snow is expected to start around 6pm and rather than put anyone at risk I am cancelling the games for today. The games will however be made up by extending the season one week.
Take care.

A Quick Reminder to All Players
Hello everyone. I would like everyone to remember that the referees working our games do not care which team wins. They are not out to get any of us and call the games as they see them. There is no need to vocalize your own private concerns about any one call the referees may or may not have made. In fact it is league policy that only team captains are allowed to discuss calls with the refs (Discuss not argue). It is well within the rights of any of our refs to give out “unsportsmanlike” penalties to any player that vocalizes disapproval with a call. So please, treat the refs with respect they are doing there best to keep the peace and we should all work to make the GFHL run as smoothly as possible.
Take Care
Kirk Kellogg GFHL Coordinator.

GFHL Rule Clarifications and Additions as of 31-JAN-2006
1) Due to restrictions on playing surface we have gone to a 3 on 3 plus goalies game format.
2) Since we are now playing a 3 on 3 format penalties will be handled differently. If a player incurs a penalty the player receiving the penalty will go into the penalty box but the team loosing this player will still leave 3 players on the floor. The team that now has a power play will now field 4 players gaining the advantage of 1 additional player. If the team that has received a penalty receives a second penalty they will then go down to 2 players on floor and the other team will continue to have 4 players (Hence a 2 player advantage).
3) The Home bench for games will be the bench near the lobby of the school. The away team's bench will be in the corner of the gym.
4) We will be playing with a running clock. The clock will be stopped if a team calls time. The clock will be stopped during the last 2 minutes of the third period if the score is within 2 goals. All other times the clock will remain running. The score keeper will be keeping track of player goals and one assist. Also, there are many more instances where the ball will be considered in play as it will be bouncing off of gym structures and into play more often than it did in the old gym.
5) Face off areas will be marked by a tape.
6) Deliberate pushing and shoving of another player will result in a roughing penalty (This includes running though another player when they are in your way.) Incidental contact is still allowed. The distinction between incidental contact and roughing penalties involves the perceived intent behind the contact. If there is no clear intent with the contact then it is incidental contact. If the referees perceive that contact is made to knock a player off balance, pin them against the boards, or to push through a player to get to the ball then a roughing penalty will be called. If two players race to get to a loose ball and some incidental contact results then no roughing penalty will be called. (However, if any contact is perceived as deliberate then a roughing penalty will be called).
7) How we will handle penalty situations when at team only has 3 eligible players at the time of the penalty.
A) If the team that only has 3 Eligible players receives a penalty then the game will be played as a 3 on 2 power play situations. (With each additional penalty the length of time the game remains 3 on 2 will be extended. This will require that the player who received the first penalty be allowed out of the box early in order to maintain a 3 on 2 situations.)
B) If the team that only has 3 eligible players gets into a power play situation then the game will be played as a 3 on 2 power play situation. (With each additional penalty extending the length of time the game remains 3 on 2)
8) Time Outs and Injuries. An injury time out will no longer count as a teams timeout. If an injury occurs the team with the injured player will not be charged with a time out. (Please do not abuse this rule by faking it)
9) Clarification of sliding rule: Any player that deliberately drops to the ground and continues to move (Slide) will be called for sliding. However, a player may drop to the ground to block a shot as long as there is no lateral movement when the player drops to the ground.
10) In general all Inline roller hockey league rules apply unless otherwise specified above.
