An infraction of this rule will result in a face-off in the offender's zone. A goalie may catch the puck in their glove. A Goalie must put the puck in play within 3 seconds if no defenders are around OR if surrounded by defenders the goalie may hold the puck and wait or ask for a whistle. Anytime a goalie falls on the puck or traps it on the floor with his glove the play will be whistled dead and result in a face off. Goalies when clearing the puck may not throw it above waist height.
Substitutions are free and can be made at any time.
When the puck is alive a player can only enter the court when the other player is completely off the court. A goal is scored when the puck passes completely across the plane of the goal line. Goals may be scored from anywhere. Goals will not count if a stick blade is above the waist level, kicked in or the hand bats the puck. A penalty shot will be awarded if a defensive player throws a stick to prevent the puck from entering the net.
