PIH Summer Classic Rules

Here's a breakdown of the way the tournament will be run:

Game rules
All rules will be normal USA hockey rules for playing purposes. Slapshots are allowed. In our division, a 3 goal cap will be allowed per player per game.

Game points
The first three games will be a round robin system, and teams will be awarded points as follows:

- 3 points for a regulation win
- 2 points for a shootout win
- 1 point for a shootout loss
- 0 points for a regulation loss

The shootout that is used at the end of a round robin game is a 5 person shootout. Should a semifinal or final game (Sunday games) go to OT, there will be a 5 minute sudden death overtime. Should the game still be tied after the overtime a 5 person shootout will be used.

Tiebreakers going for Sunday rankings will be head to head records, goals for/against, followed by fewest penalty minutes.
