Playing more than 4 periods a night

Green and White Fan · Fri Jan 13, 2017 12:56 pm

That I know of, this has never happened in any games I have ever been at, but does anyone know what the consequences are if a team was to play a player for more than 4 periods in a night? We were discussing this last night and no one seemed to know the answer.

"The game must be automatically forfeited."

A quote from MSHSL web page rule book.

It should be noted there are exceptions to the rule.

I think it's similar to using an ineligible player - you may have to forfeit that game. Not entirely sure, but I think that's the case.

You are right.

Short JV players so you sent out an underclassmen for a JV period, and then Varsity goes into OT, and you try and play him in OT.

Does the other team have to call them out?

Or having a player get a penalty that carries over into a second period of a JV game and then they play a full varsity game?

That penalty scenario happened this year, but it was realized still during the JV game and the player just got less varsity ice. It could have been bad had it not been realized I guess.

Penalty and OT's have a work around -- penalty player can be replaced in box so as not to impact their 4 period eligibility and OT does not count toward the 4 periods

Overtime is considered an extension of the 3rd period.

What about programs that only have 2 goalies total? Varsity goalies gets injured in 1st period and backup played JV?

There is an injury exception to the rule.

It happens more often than people think. I've never seen it reported. Has anyone else? There are other don't ask don't tell issues that are out there that are far more serious.

If a kid is playing more than 4 periods it generally is because a school is struggling to field a jv team as it is. Heck, I be seen a jv team play two 20 minute "periods" just so a jv game could be played.

Someone mentioned the fact injury exception. I can remember before that went into effect and you either had to have a skater change, which was a safety issue, or go without a goalie which kind of made a mockery of the game.

Elliott is younger then everyone thinks, but his latest wife is way younger than that. She definitely proves the adage that opposites attract. She's young, smart, AND beautiful. He's a lucky man.

Whats a boreds?
