Table Volunteers:

Table personnel are neutral. There should be no comments to either coach, players or referees regarding play. If there is an issue with a coach or player, ask the referees to intervene.

Scorekeeper Guidelines

– Be at the field at least 15 minutes before the start of the game.

– Complete game day information before the start of the game – Get rosters from both teams and fill in the score sheet. 

– Put in date, names of the scorekeeper, timekeeper. Put in the team names of the Home and Visitor teams. Mark stop time or run time. If run time how many minutes per period.

Scoring – When a goal is scored first record information in the upper part of the score sheet. Record the jersey number of the player who scored the goal. If there is an assist, record the jersey number of the player who earned the assist. Check with a coach if necessary. Ask the time keeper for the time of the goal and record the time in period. Record goals from left to right and do not skip cells. This allows for easy confirmation of the score.

At the end of each period, total the tick marks and put the total in the column that corresponds to the period. The sum of the goals for all of the periods should be the same as the total count of goals scored as indicated in the upper part of the score sheet.

Recording penalties – Penalties are recorded for each team in the order that they are given by the official. Under PER (Period) record the number of the period. Under NO. record the jersey number of the player with the penalty. Under OFFENSE record the type of penalty, e.g., slash, offside, unsportsmanlike conduct. Under MIN, record the length of the penalty in minutes, e.g., 30 seconds or 0.5, 1, 2 or 3. Under TIME record the time remaining for the period (ask the Timekeeper).

Recording saves – For save put a tick mark in the box that corresponds to the goalie and the period in which a save was earned. 

Recording time outs – U15 and U13 are entitled to two time outs per half and if the game goes into Overtime, one time out per O/T period. U11 and U9 are entitled to two time outs per half, however, no time outs are permitted within the last four minutes of the game. Record the time remaining in the period at which time the time out is taken.

Spotter Guidelines:

Arrive a few minutes before start of game

Assist the scorekeeper by:

– Calling jersey #, color and play

– Change the score for the team that just scored the goal.

Timekeeper Guidelines

Be at the field at least 15 minutes before the start of the game.

Check to make sure the clocks work and there are extra batteries for clocks.

Time format – Make sure you know the time format for the game.

– (U13/15) Four 10 minute stop clock qtrs;

– (U9/11) four 10 minute run clock qtrs OR two 22 minute run clock  halves;

Stop clock games go to running time if there is a 12 goal differential (U15 & U13).  Inform/coordinate with coaches and officials.

Mercy rules – check with officials

Overtime – check with officials; general rules:

– (U15) 4 Minute Sudden Victory periods until winner;
– (U13) Two 4 Minute Sudden Victory periods, then ends in a tie;
– (U9/11) Ends in a tie;

Starting and stopping the game clock 

– Clock starts and stops on the referees’ whistle if the game is in stop clock mode

– Clock stops for time outs. Referees will keep time on time outs (2 minutes in total).

– Clock stops for injuries

Informing officials and coaches about time and use of the horn –

– Count down OUT LOUD the last 10 seconds from 10 to 0 for end of each period and for penalties.

– Announce 1 minute before the end of each quarter; In last quarter give a 2 minute warning.

– Provide time remaining if asked by coaches or referees.

Penalty clock and player penalty management –

– If the game is in stop clock mode – penalties times stop/start on the whistle;

– If the game is in running clock mode, the penalty starts on the next whistle and runs until the penalty is    served.  Penalties under a run clock stop if there is a time out called or an injury.

– Penalty types – Releasable and non-releasable. If a non-releasable penalty the official will raise hands over his/her head, touching palms and say “Non-releasable” otherwise the penalty is “releasable.”

– Penalty times are 30 seconds, 1 minute, 2 minutes and 3 minutes depending on the type of penalty.

– Players with a penalty are to stay in the box until the end of the penalty.  They should be on one knee but can stand for the last 10 seconds.  A player substituting for them can stand along side of them for the last 10 seconds and be released after the penalty expires. For penalties call “Release” at the end of the penalty.  If the player leaves before the time ends and the time keeper calls “release,” notify the coach and officials.

– The end of the penalty can transpire two ways – the full time of the penalty is served or if it is a releasable penalty and a goal is scored by the opposition (referee will blow the whistle when the goal is scored and players serving releasable penalties are free to return to play).

– If there is a penalty being served at the time of a face off the player can not be released until possession is called by the referee unless the wing position is open.
