Note for 2013 teams: While it was our intention to play half-ice games at the 2013 level, we have decided to play full-ice games at this level, in order to promote spacing on the ice where possible, with regards to COVID-19.

COVID-19 Special Rules

On Monday, July 13, Ottawa entered Stage 3 as it relates to COVID-19. This stage WILL allow this tournament to be played with the following special considerations:

Rosters will be limited to 12 players (combination of goalies and skaters). These players must be the same throughout the event. No more than 12 different players may play for a team during a tournament. No player may play on multiple teams in the tournament. S.S.H.D. teams will be allowed to have up to 13 players on their roster.
Games will be played with regular hockey rules – full ice and 5-on-5, with the exception of the 2013 division, which will be played on full ice, but 4-on-4.
There will be no body checking in any division
A limit of one spectator per player will be allowed in the facility.
Teams will play all their games within a “bubble” of 4 total teams. This is to adhere to the 50 person limit for competition.
Players must arrive at the arena fully dressed, with the exception of skates, gloves, and helmet

As the tournament approaches, more specific COVID-19 rules and regulations will be shared with your team.

Divisions will be tiered using one of the following methods:

Separate divisions of play (ex. D2 and D3) for the entirety of the tournament (round robin and playoffs). Teams should indicate if they are a D2 or D3 team when they apply (e.g. mostly Tier I players, or mostly Tiers II/III players)
One division of play for all teams should that be determined as the best option
