Hat Trick Rule
You’re only allowed three hat tricks in a season.

Players scoring three goals in a game (a hat trick) in three (3) games in the current season, including playoffs, will be suspended from playing in that division for the remainder of the season without a refund. If a player does get a fourth hat trick in a season, the entire team will forfeit the game in which the 4th hat trick occurred to the opposing team regardless of the score. Divisional suspensions may be extended beyond the remainder of the current season at the discretion / recommendation of CAHL.

Four-Goal Rule
You’re only allowed one in a season.

Players are only allowed one (1) four-goal game. If a player scores four goals a second time in one season, in a second game, the player will be suspended from playing in that division for the remainder of the season (without refund). Divisional suspensions may be extended beyond the remainder of the current season at the discretion / recommendation of CAHL.

Additional Details

It is the opposing team’s responsibility to report players to the referees. Players (preferably the team captain) are to report hat tricks and any time one player scores four goals in the same game directly to the referees without causing any problems (no complaining / remain calm about it). At that time, the referee(s) will obtain the opposing player’s name and they will report this to CAHL. Records are being kept to enforce these new rules.

Again, any player who violates any of the above rules will not receive a refund. These rules are in place to try to keep players from playing down and scoring at-will. We hope these new rules will make playing in division 5 a better experience and keep players from dropping down to a division they don’t belong in.
