e. individuals

Individual players on teams comprised of players who registered individually must adhere to all the rules that apply to established teams under team managers.
If the number of individual registrations does not meet the outlined number of players required to form a team, a full refund will be issued to the individual registrant.
If a participant is on a registered team roster, that participant is ineligible to register as an individual on a separate team in the same or different division. No participant is allowed to play on two teams in the same or different division. Exceptions are substitute goalies, see I. Goaltenders below.
A Team Manager may be appointed for any team comprised of players that registered individually. However, if one is not appointed, then all correspondence of any changes pertaining to the team will be made from the League Coordinator to the players via email. It is the responsibility of the individual at sign-ups to provide a current and valid email address.

f. uniforms

All teams are required to have a Dark (Home) and Light (Away) jersey in order to participate in the Peaks Adult Hockey League.
During any league game, if the two competing team's jerseys are similar in nature and color, by the discretion of either the officials and/or both team managers, the League will provide pennies to wear. The visiting ream will be required to wear the pennies for the scheduled game.
A player that is out of uniform, including the required equipment as outlined in G. Equipment below, will be assessed a minor penalty as soon as that player steps on the ice for actual game play.
For any player not listed on the roster or checked-in before the start of the game, that player must report to the scorekeeper of their identity at the first available break in play. If the player is not on the roster or does not have approval from the League Coordinator, that player will be removed from the ice. The Team Manager of the offending team will also be suspended for the following game.

G. equipment

All players are required to wear an H.E.C.C. approved helmet. Helmets must be worn at all times; otherwise, a bench minor penalty may be assessed to the team. This includes while on the bench and during warm-ups. During game play in the League, all helmets must be properly fastened.
Goaltenders are allowed to wear cat eyes if they choose.
All players are required to wear a helmet, elbow pads, shin guards, an athletic supporter, hockey gloves, hockey pants, and a matching team jersey. Shoulder pads are not required; however, they are highly recommended. All equipment must be in acceptable condition to prevent injuries.

H. Division of teams

Elite Division (Upper Advanced) - Designed to be the top level of play across PAHL Divisions. This includes all players who can currently play at the highest level (Former Professional, College [NCAA or Club], Junior, and Midget).
A Division (Lower Advanced) - Designed to be the lower division of advanced play. This includes all players who have played at a higher level of hockey (Former Professional, College [NCAA or Club], Junior, and Midget) and have been away from the game for some time or have not played at that level of competitive hockey for a significant amount of time.
B Division (Upper Intermediate) - Designed to be the upper division of intermediate play. This includes all players who may have once played at an intermediate skill level (High School, Youth League, some Travel [Bantam and below]) and feel confident with the speed and skill required to play the game at this level.
C Division (Lower Intermediate) - Designed to be the lower division of intermediate play. This generally includes any player who wants to play at a competitive level, but has not played on a Travel team, at the College level, at the Junior/Midget level, or any Professional hockey in the past.
D Division (Upper Beginner) - Designed to be the upper division for beginners. This includes any players who have five (5) years or less of playing experience or are over 40 years old and have not played any organized hockey in the past.
Rookie Division (Lower Beginner) - Designed to be the very beginner level of play across PAHL Divisions. This includes any players who have three (3) years or less of playing experience.
Rosters will be monitored closely and managed to control the skill levels.
It is the responsibility of the team manager to ask any potential prospects their previous skill level and hockey experience before adding them to their team's roster. If a manager is unsure or has any questions on a person's skill level, please ask the League Coordinator first before assigning them to your roster.
If a team allows a player (or players) who does not adequately fit the designated skill level of a division, the following with occur:
1. First Offense: 1-game suspension of the Team Manager (possible 1-game suspension of the player if they have participated in the PAHL previously). The player will immediately be removed from the current team and moved up to the proper division with the help of the League Coordinator.
2. Second Offense: 2-game suspension of the Team Manager (possible 1-game suspension of the player if they have participated in the PAHL previously) and the team will forfeit their eligibility to play in the playoffs. The player will immediately be removed from the current team and moved up to the proper division with the help of the League Coordinator.
If the Team Manager is unwilling to remove the player from their team, the team will forfeit their eligibility to play in the playoffs.
1. If said player is involved in any altercation (Fighting, Misconducts, or Match Penalties), they will immediately be removed from the PAHL for the remainder of the season and will receive a hearing with the PAHL Administration for possible return to the PAHL for future seasons.
Due to a shortage of goaltenders, the PAHL League Coordinator may make exceptions for goalies for these rules.
The first-place team in each division maybe moved up to compete in the next division for the following season according to the League Coordinator's discretion and/or the team may be required to change their roster to balance their divisions skill and play ability.
1. First place tends to mean they won the regular season, received the top seed, and won the playoffs.
2. The League Coordinator holds the right to independently review a team's status before moving a team up a division (Example: A 10-0 team that loses in the playoffs may still be eligible for the move up depending on the needs of the League and the review of the League Coordinator).
3. Winning the playoffs is not the sole factor for determining the situation, but can have an influence (Example: A 1-9 team that wins the playoffs is likely exempt from being moved up in the upcoming season).
Although the determining line is rigid between the caliber of player and the division in which a participant plays, it is understood that there will be case where a beginner play may have a friend/relative with significant playing experience. In this situation, if both players want to play together, both participants will have to play in the division that best suits the higher skill level player. Both players cannot play together in a lower division. In this regard, players and managers should understand their skill levels and the skills levels of their teammates, then distinguish the division level that will best suit their experience.
The PAHL Administration reserves the right to move players and/or teams between divisions based upon the player's skills and abilities.

8. 5-Second Rule: After every whistle, the referee conducting the faceoffs will allow both teams five (5) seconds to make a line change simultaneously (there will be no designation of home team during the regular season). The referee will then blow the whistle and, at the end of five seconds, the centers for each team must be in position with their stick down and their body set, ready to take the faceoff. Failure to do so will result in the puck being dropped without the center being there or the center's expulsion from the faceoff.
9. One (1) timeout is allowed per game per team.

The fine must be paid in full before the team can participate in League play. Otherwise, an indefinite suspension will be unforced until full payment of the fine is made to Provo City. The Team Manager is responsible to assume payment of the fine. If the team is found of committing a second offense, the team will no longer be assigned a locker room for the remainder of the season and will be asked to come to the rink fully dressed for game play, as they are not permitted to change in the hallways or in the view of the public. Furthermore, there is the possibility of legal action on individuals found in violation of these rules.

o. Injuries

All major injuries must be reported immediately to the League Coordinator within 48-hours. All major injuries that require hospitalization or ambulatory services need to be reported to the League Coordinator as soon as possible.
