SCORE SHEET CLARIFICATIONS
1. Shots on Goal. The first requirement is an understanding of what constitutes a “shot on goal”. To begin, let’s assume for the moment that the goaltender is not protecting the goal. A shot on goal is defined as only those shots that will enter the goal if the goaltender does not protect the goal. The point here is that a shot which is deflected, batted away or otherwise prevented from entering the goal would be considered a shot on goal only if that shot would have entered the goal had it not been for the goaltenders save. If the shot is deflected, batted away or otherwise handled by the goaltender, but would not have entered the goal had the goaltender not interfered with the shot, the shot is not considered a shot on goal. Shots which hit the cross bar, or are wide of or through the crease markings or over the net are also not shots on goal. In any given game, a particular goaltender will tend to handle all shots on or near the goal. It then becomes the problem of the “shot clock person” to decide, in each and every case, whether the shot was on goal or not. Was it or wasn’t it… Conclusion: If it’s a close call, call it a shot on goal… In this way, the goaltenders stats are not degraded because of an erroneous call. This is admittedly not correct but maybe the best we can do under the circumstances.
2. White Copy. EVERY white copy should sent to the GSL Statistician
3. Pink Copy. EVERY pink copy should go to the visiting teams REP or MANAGER or COACH
4. Yellow Copy. EVERY yellow copy should go to the home teams REP or MANAGER or COACH
5. Goldenrod Copy. EVERY goldenrod copy should go to the referees (this is especially important if there is a suspension – if the ref doesn’t want it that’s fine but please offer it up)
6. Team Names. When filling out the scoresheet do NOT use the words “Home” or “Visitor”, also do not use “H” or “V” , use the team’s name or abbreviation for their name
7. Goal Types. Every goal needs to have the type of goal noted; even strength (EV), power play (PP), empty net (EN), short handed (SH)
8. Delayed Penalty when a goal is scored – if there is a delayed penalty, and the non-penalized team scores, you will record the goal, as well as the penalty. The penalty will not need to be served, just recorded.
9. 2 and 10 penalties. The infraction should be on its own line with its 2 minutes, followed by the misconduct on its own line with its 10 minutes. The 10 starts after the 2 is over so please pay attention to the start and end times
10. Game misconducts. If a player is ejected from the game please note it as a 10 minute game misconduct penalty – this is our prompt to inquire about a game report for suspension review
11. Game Rosters. EVERY player on your roster MUST be on EVERY game sheet. The number of players on the ice must match the players listed on the roster of the game sheet.
Mark any additional players on the game sheet (not on approved USA Hockey Roster) with an * (asterisk) on all sheets.
Mark any player not skating on game sheet with absence code: Absent – ABS, Injured – INJ, Suspension – SUSP.
12. Suspended players & coaches. Every suspended person MUST be clearly marked on the game sheet in order to get credit for serving their suspension.
13. 3/15 rule – if a player accumulates 3 penalties in a game, including 2 and 10 (which are recorded as 2 separate penalties, see #9 above), that player is assessed a game misconduct (a 4th penalty for that player), and removed from the game immediately. That player will need to need to serve suspension in the next game. If a team is assessed 15 penalties in a game, the coach will not be allowed on the bench for the next game. The suspensions are posted on the website, but it is each team’s responsibility to know if a player has a suspension to serve, even if it is not posted.
