  • 12 Minutes for Beaver and Cadet
  • The clock runs continuously except in special situations determined by officials
  • 1 Minute Penalties with stoppage time
  • Clock stops under 2 minutes when game is within 2 goals

Overtime

  • If a game is tied at the end of regulation, a 5 minute overtime period will be played
  • Overtime is played 3 on 3
  • Golden Goal format applies, meaning the first team to score wins immediately
  • If no winner is determined after this Overtime period, a Shootout will take place to decide the winner
