Canadian Amateur Hockey Association CAHA Then they go on to suggest local associations don use some of them For Instance in the atom and below category the CAHA mends that a buzzer or similar device be implemented for player changes When used the buzzer would sound every two minutes when stop time Is used or every three minutes when straight time is In effect The recommends the buuer not be accepted Groups could try it the bulletin says but not used for playoffs The CAHA under the heading team composition says while six players on a team Is recognized as the official team it is conceivable that or eight players per team would not necessarily be an unreasonable number Similarly if the ice surface was divided Into two or three sections four players per team on the ice may be more appropriate the choice is dependent upon local condition The OMHA recommends we play six players on full ice You already know that body checking for the peewee level of hockey and below is banned Any player who uses his body to check an opponent will be assessed a minor penalty If injury results a major penalty will be assessed If two players collide with no deliberate attempt to check or if a player Is skated off the puck along the boards unless there Is a motion to propel the opponent Into the boards no penalty will be assessed A body check by the way is deliberately using force when making body contact with the hips shoulders or of the opponent Do you know that there shall be no captains or alternates and no discussion Initiated by any team member with the refs In atom and below categories The OMHA recommends local associations use the new icing and offside rules on a trial basis Icing Is a puck shot by a player from his side of the red line which crossed the goal line will out contacting any other player But only the blue lines will be used in determining offsides The red line docs not apply In recreational or house league hockey for atoms and below the and the CAHA want to eliminate as many stoppages In play as possible hence the puck turnover rule If a goal Is scored the team scored against shall have a free breakout from their own end During any other stoppage in play the offending team shall be given the puck at the centre of the nearest faceoff circle and all players except the one playing the puck will remain outside the face off circle until the referee
