ball hockey with SAMBH.
   
BASIC RULES
SAMBH follows the rules and regulations of the Canadian Ball Hockey Association.  

NON-CONTACT
SAMBH is a non-contact league. Body checking is not part of the game although some light contact can occur when gaining the ball. Non-contact promotes player safety, skill development and makes the game more fun to play and watch.

FLOATING BLUE LINE
The expansion of the offensive zone occurs once the attacking team has crossed the blue line with the ball.  The attacking team will then have half of the entire playing surface to control the ball giving the team addiitonal space for offensive play, ( from behind the opponent's goal to the center red line).  For the defending team to clear the zone, they must propel the ball oustide the center red line. This action resets the blue line and the attacking team must regain it again.

ICING
non-touch icing is used for all games

4 MINUTE MINOR PENALTIES
high Sticking, slashing, cross checking, minor spearing, minor butt ending, head contact
only one goal can be scored on the powerplay, however the offending player must serve the entire length of the penalty even if a substitute has replaced him after a goal.  In this case he must wait for a whistle.
