Welcome to the Macedonian Hockey League

All penalties will be two-minute minors and served by the penalized player unless the penalized player is the goaltender in which case the penalty will be served by a player on the ice at the time of the infraction. A four-minute minor penalty can be called at the Referee’s discretion if he feels it was careless or intentional. Any penalty that the referee’s see as intent to injure will result in an ejection from the game and will be looked at for further action.

Fighting has never been, nor will ever be tolerated in the MK Hockey League. If the officials record the offense as a fight, the player or players in question will be automatically ejected from the game and the incident will be looked at for further action depending on the referee’s call. If a player or players are ejected within the last five minutes of the third period, the suspension will be carried over to the next week’s game and again be looked at for further action depending on the Referee’s call.

Unsportsmanlike conduct penalties (verbal abuse to Referee’s or Players, etc…) will be progressive per game. The ruling is up to the referee’s discretion and the penalties listed below can be assigned. The penalty will not cost the team in being short-handed; it will just take ice time away from the individual or individuals in question.

• 1st offense in the game – 2 minutes
• 2nd offence in the game – 5 minutes
• 3rd offence in the game – ejected from the game with possible further action, depending on the offense

NOTE: This is totally based on Referee’s discretion. The Referee's call is final and can not be overturned by the league.

1. Full team uniform must be worn every game. Corresponding team Jerseys and Socks must be worn. The result for having an incorrect uniform will be a two-minute penalty at the start of the second period unless your team is already shorthanded if so the penalty will be at assigned on the next whistle. (First game of the year this rule will be waived due to Jersey hand outs and exchanges)
