FAIR ICE TIME / BUILT IN
90-SECOND BUZZER SHIFTS. EVERYBODY PLAYS.
With 20 skaters, each team has two lines of five. The buzzer sounds every 90 seconds for a full line change. Over 48 minutes of running-clock game time, each line gets 16 shifts, or 24 minutes of scheduled ice time per skater. The rest of the 60-minute ice session is for warmup, setup and getting off the ice.
If the number of players changes, we'll adjust rotations to keep playing time as even as possible. Actual puck-in-play time can vary slightly during changes and stoppages.
REFEREED + NON-CONTACT.
Each run is a competitive, non-contact game with a referee. No drills. Just hockey.
