Team composition

To participate, your corporate team must be composed of a minimum 8 players of both genders:

1 goal keeper (by preference)
6 players on the field
at least 1 reserve player

We insist on the importance given to the number of girls starting a match. A minimum of 2 girls per team is expected during a match. Girls can be substituted, but the final score of the team will then be penalized by 2 goals punishment per girl missing and substituted.

Substitutions with reserve players are allowed with an unlimited number of times in the course of a game.

The pitch

Matches are played on third-field sections, marked by beams. The ball may bounce off these beams but is considered out of play if it goes over the top.

The ball may be played around and behind the goal, similar to ice hockey. There is no delimited circle as it is used in the normal rules.

Special rules

Prohibited actions include flicks (except scoop or push without players in the ball’s path), shots, slap shots, and any dangerous ball (higher than knee level). These will be considered as fouls.
As it is the case with ice-hockey, players are able to play around and behind the goal. If the attacking team plays the ball over the beam behind the goal or commits a foul, the defending team will be granted a free clearance from any position in their clearance zone (located behind the yellow line, marked with “2” on our diagram).
If a defender accidentally fouls in the imaginary 5 m zone in front of the goal, the attacker must move the ball back to at least 8 m before playing. The attacker may not directly send the ball toward the “circle” unless it has traveled at least 3 m. In case of a deliberate foul, a “one-to-one duel” (as in the EHL) with the goalkeeper will be awarded, starting from a point about 10 m from the center of the goal line.
