Great ice times for adult hockey - late weeknight games are minimized.
Approximately 70-75% of the games are at prime time (start times 9:45 PM or earlier). No 11 PM start times.
30 regular season games, plus 1 - 2 playoff games guaranteed for each team.
All teams advance to playoffs. The top three teams in each division will automatically advance to the best-of-three semi-final series. The remaining teams will play a single elimination wildcard round to determine the 4^th team for the semi-final. With this playoff structure, teams will still earn their spot in the playoffs and all teams have a chance to win the division title.
After the wildcard round, all playoff series are a ‘best of three’ format.
Game format is 3 twenty minute run time periods with the last two minutes in the first and second period plus the last five minutes in the third period being stop time, depending on the goal differential. With this format teams will get more ice time especially during games with fewer whistles.
Line changes are allowed on all whistles.
Ice slots are 90 minutes and there will be a flood after every two periods of play.
Overtime format is 3-on-3 for 3 minutes.
