Mouth guard equipment violation MEMO

District B council has determined the following with reference to mouth guard violations

PRACTICES: any players who are not wearing a mouth guard during practices will be asked to leave the ice.

GAMES: any player not wearing a mouth guard will be asked to leave the ice

If the player returns to the ice without a mouth guard a 2 min. penalty will be assessed

Should the player return to the ice for a 3rd time without a mouth guard it will result in a 2 min. equipment violation penalty and game misconduct

In the event there are not enough players to start the game who are properly equipped, the game will be forfeited.

It is the responsibility of the team trainer and ultimately the coach to ensure that the mouth guards are being worn before a player takes to the ice.
