Rule 111. Signal and Timing Devices

  1. Each rink shall be provided with a siren, or other suitable sound device, for the use of the Game Timekeeper.

  2. Each rink shall be provided with some form of electrical clock for the purpose of keeping the spectators, players and game officials accurately informed as to all time elements at all stages of the game, including the time remaining to be played in any period.

    Time recording for both game time and penalty time shall show time remaining to be played or served.

  3. Behind each goal electric lights shall be set up for the use of the Goal Judges. A red light will signify the scoring of a goal. Where automatic lights are available, a green light will signify the end of a period or a game.

    For Juniors only -All arenas must be equipped with an operational red/green automatic lighting system. Failure to do so may result in a team fine of up to Two Hundred Dollars ($200.00) per game.

    (Note) A goal cannot be scored when a green light is showing.

    The red light shall be connected to the timing device in such a manner so that when the period ends it will not be possible for the Goal Judge to turn it on. However, the fact that the Goal Judge may not be able to turn on the red light does not necessarily mean that no goal has been scored. The determining factor is whether or not the puck completely crosses the entire goal line before the period ends.
