ASHL SUMMER PLAYOFFS

Players on the rosters in the playoff season are eligible for playoff games. If a players name is not on the playoff roster  - they can not play. Each series is a 2 game series. There is no overtime if game one is a tie at the end of regulation. Game two will determine the series winner. If after two game the series is tied – (either 2 ties, or each team with a win) the series immediately moves to the sudden victory format. Semi finals and finals will be played as single game elimination – and will use the sudden victory format below as necessary to determine a winner. Period 4: 5 minute 3 on 3 – players changes are allowed on whistles.Period 5: Shootout – 3 player shoot out, followed by single player as necessary. Players can not shoot twice until all players have taken a shot. The deciding factor will be smaller bench strength before a player is eligible to take a second shot.  Any penalty in the 4th period that has not expired will eliminate the penalized played from shootout participation.
