Fair play is to be stressed at all times for both the participants and spectators.
Spectators shall not interfere with the referee's assigned tasks of interpreting the rules and officiating the game. A referee shall have the authority to halt play and inform the coaches of the offensive behavior of any spectator. It shall then become the responsibility of the coach to correct the situation. If a referee suspends play, the game shall not be replayed or restarted without approval from the MHA Discipline Committee in accordance with USA Hockey rules. There shall be no skating on the hockey rink between periods during MHA league, tournament, or traveling games by anyone other than players of the competing teams.
