There are several rules specific to the StorageTek Hockey Leagues which players need to be aware of:

• Unsportsmanlike Conduct - The referee reserves the right to call a player for unsportsmanlike conduct if the player verbally abuses the referee. The player serves 10 minutes, there is no power play. If the offense occurs towards the end of a game, the referee may also call a minor penalty.
• Game Conduct - The referee reserves the right to eject a player for egregious misconduct if deemed necessary. The ejection will be reported to the hockey club officers who review such events on a case-by-case basis and issues furhter suspensions if appropriate.
• The Chen Take-Out Rule - After a goal or a goalie freeze, the ball starts behind the end-line. The defensive team may not cross the mid-line until either the ball crosses the end-line, or a player on the opposing team crosses the mid-line. Any attempt to delay the game by holding the ball behind the end-line for more that 5 seconds will result in a delay of game penalty.
• Charging/Roughing - A charging or roughing penalty will be called by the referee after a collision if the referee judges that a player made no attempt to avoid the collision. Determining factor will be whether the player makes some overt movement (turning skates, body, shoulders) to try and avoid the collision.
• Slashing of an opponent's stick shall be subject to a minor penalty.
• Disputes - There will be ZERO TOLERANCE for questioning officials. Players questioning the official without going through their team captain (or captain designee) are subject to a minor misconduct penalty. Further questioning can result in a 10 minute and/or game misconduct penalty. Verbal abuse of the official by any player (including the captain) is subject to 1 or more misconduct penalties. It is recommended that players who wish to question an official's call convince their team captain (or designee) to discuss the situation with the official. Complaints about the official can only be taken up with the league director (Ben).
• Penalties will be served on the penalized player's team bench. The penalized player is not eligible to return to play until the penalty period has expired. After the penalty is served, either the penalized player or a teammate may return to play.
