Them's the rules...since the beginning.
Blatant disregard for any of these rules means you will be asked to leave and never come back. No refunds.
No Contact - everyone goes to work Monday with teeth in-tact; absolutely no checking, fighting, slashing, keep chipping at a minimum - think Olympic play vs. northern Quebec beer league; this is not to say I expect a bunch of pansies blowing kisses on the ice, e.g. self-regulate in front of the net/etc...a defenceman's gentle shove in front of the net won't get you kicked out, but cross checking or slewfoot to clear the crease will.
Respect of Others:
Call Your Own Transgressions - if you are offside, fess up; keep sticks low, no one gets hurt, it's only shinny.
Clear the OPPONENTS 1/2 on a GOAL, do not re-engage until opposing player crosses the CENTRE RED LINE.
Clear the OPPENENTS ZONE on a STOPPAGE, do not re-engage until opposing player crosses their BLUE LINE.
Full Equipment - we are not "limiting" shots, so beyond the mandatory helmet OMIT GEAR AT YOUR OWN PERIL - probably good idea to have AT LEAST shin/jock/pants/gloves; elbow pads/face shield
Bring a DARK (team Midget Cowboy) & LIGHT (team Leaky Basement) jersey - at times teams will be shuffled to even play

Respect of Others:
- Newbies - there is a small faction of inexperienced skaters, you'll know them when you see them, give them some space...it'll be far more entertaining to watch them flip taking a slap shot or cross-over -- then feel free to berate at will.
- Goalies - do not slash, hack, charge, check the goalies. Once they have it, step away, this ain't game 7.
- Rink Officials - We are really lucky with our local official. He really helps us out & he lives in the neighborhood. Leave the rooms clean, alcohol is strictly forbidden so please be discreet & clean-up after yourself (like it never happened).
