Dressing room supervision is mandatory. Teams are responsible for ensuring the dressing room is adequately cleaned after use

Penalty Shots

The penalty shooter starts from center ice, penalized team is allowed one player that will stand in their defensive corner.  The player in the corner must stay positioned in the corner until the shot is taken.  The player in the corner can then retrieve the puck on a save and have a quick turnaround and create offense.  If the shot results in a goal, see GOALS.  If a shot results in a save, see SAVES.  On a save, the shooter must retreat to the ringette line and the play continues.  Teammates of the shooter cannot attack UNTIL the shooter clears the ringette line completely.

Goals

After each goal, the attacking team must clear the center ice redline prior to attacking again in the offensive zone. Once all team members have cleared, you can then re-attack into the offensive zone (delayed offside rule)

The team, which was scored upon, will play the puck immediately

Saves

After every save, the attacking team will retreat to the ringette line and the goalie can play the puck to one of his teammates

Referee will blow the play dead on a goal or save
