Ball Hockey Rules

Players are asked to review the revised rules listed below to ensure they are in sync with the league organizers, referees and their team mates.  Download the complete document at the bottom of the page. The spirit of the rules is, above all, to have fun and be safe, to treat all players & officials with respect, & to keep competition secondary to having a good time. Thus, gross unsportsmanlike conduct, such as the utterance of racial, religious or sexist slurs, the instigation of a fight, or conducting an illegal activity while in a league facility, may result in suspension or expulsion from the league with no refund, at the discretion of league executives & the Halifax PLAYS Board. We encourage players to contact halifaxplays.ballhockey@gmail.com ​with suggestions for how rules can be amended and improved. If we get many suggestions, particularly on the same sort of matters, league executives may change a role or have players/ captains vote on possible changes. We highly value the input of players, so please be honest and open with your suggestions! Games in this league are refereed by volunteers. During the season, please remember to treat all officials with respect, especially considering the time they take out of their day to help the league.
