2e. Playoff Player Eligibility for Fall/Winter Seasons:
Minimum Regular Season Games Requirement:
Only skaters who played in ten (10) or more of his or her team's regular season games and goalies who have played in one (1) or more of his or her team's regular season games are permitted to play in the playoffs. Skaters who didn't play in at least ten (10) or more of his or her team's regular season games and goalies who didn't play in at least one (1) or more of his or her team's regular season games are not permitted to play in the playoffs (please see below under Goalie Unavailability for possible application and permission for emergency goalies).
Photo Identification Requirement:
All players, skaters and goalies, are required to bring photo identification to every playoff game. If a player is unable to present his or her photo identification when requested by an on or off ice official for photo identification, then that player will no longer be permitted to participate in that playoff game. If the player refuses to comply, even with a warning, and continues to play without presenting his or her photo identification, then unless that player stops playing, that player's team will automatically default and their opponent will be awarded the victory. Reasons such as, however not limited to: forgot to bring photo identification, didn't drive to the game, left photo identification at home or in the car or in the dressing room, will not be accepted.
However, a player may appeal to the on or off ice officials and if at least one of the on or off ice officials knows or recognizes the player, who does not have photo identification, as a regular player who has played in ten (10) or more of his or her team's regular season games then that player will be permitted to play. If none of the on or off ice officials know or recognize the player, who does not have photo identification, as a regular player who has played in ten (10) or more of his or her team's regular season games, then that player's appeal will be rejected and that player will not be permitted to participate in that playoff game. If that player refuses to comply, even with a warning, and continues to play, then unless that player stops playing, that player's team will automatically default and their opponent will be awarded the victory.
Goalie Unavailability:
In the event that a team does not have any of their eligible goalies available to play in a specific playoff game(s), the team may apply for permission from the Calgary Adult Hockey League for an emergency goalie(s) to play in that specific playoff game(s). Each case and application will be reviewed and permission may or may not be granted for any emergency goalie(s) or specific playoff game(s). If permission is granted for a team to use an emergency goalie(s) for the specific playoff game(s), the emergency goalie(s) is not required to bring identification for the specific playoff game(s).
1m. Playoff Shootout Player Eligibility: Any player whose penalty has not yet expired when regulation time has ended will not be eligible to participate in the shootout and must remain in the penalty box. Any player who received a game misconduct penalty or was ejected will not be eligible to participate in the shootout.
1h. Tie Breaking Procedures for Regular Season Game, Standard Playoff Game, and CAHL Cup Championship Game.
Regular Season Game:
If the score remains tied after regulation time, a best of three (3) vs. three (3) shootout will commence. The away team will shoot first. If the score is still tied after the three (3) vs. three (3) shootout, there will be a sudden death shootout, with each team having an equal number of turns, to determine the winner. The goalie must remain in his or her crease until the skater taking the shot has touched the puck. If the goalie does not and if the shot fails the official(s) will have the same skater re-take the shot. The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent's end of the ice. No goal can be scored on a rebound (unless the puck bounces off the goal post, then off the goalie, and then into the net). No skater may shoot more than once unless every other skater on their team has already shot.
Standard Playoff Game and CAHL Cup Championship Game:
If the score remains tied after regulation time, a best of three (3) vs. three (3) shootout will commence. The lower seeded team will shoot first. If the score is still tied after the three (3) vs. three (3) shootout, there will be a sudden death shootout, with each team having an equal number of turns, to determine the winner. The goalie must remain in his or her crease until the skater taking the shot has touched the puck. If the goalie does not and if the shot fails the official(s) will have the same skater re-take the shot. The puck must be kept in motion towards the opponent's end of the ice. No goal can be scored on a rebound (unless the puck bounces off the goal post, then off the goalie, and then into the net). No skater may shoot more than once unless every other skater on their team has already shot.
