Rules Governing Player Eligibility for Play-Offs / Finals

Players must have played 7 games or more with the team. Double point games count as only one game when determining eligibility.

Goaltenders are excluded from this rule providing the usual team goal tender is unavailable to play, and that he/she has played 7 games or more for another team in a lower division or grade in the same club.

Note: All clubs must submit a listing of all players for each play-off team to IHNSW, at least two weeks before the first scheduled play-off game.

If a player has been unable to play sufficient games due to injury or illness during the season, a certificate from a medical practitioner confirming the period and nature of his/her incapacity that is lodged with IHNSW with the team list, will enable the scheduled games during such period to be counted.
