1. Game rules will not allow for a team to have fewer than four players (one goaltender and three skaters, resultant of penalties) or more than six players (one goaltender and five skaters or six skaters) on the ice at any time during game action.

2. Skaters may move about freely in any manner and play whatever positions they wish during game action, but the six standard positions of play are goaltender, left defence, right defence, centre, left wing, and right wing.

3. Only one goaltender is allowed on the ice during game action. This goaltender may be removed and substituted by a skater. However, this replacement skater is not allowed to play under rules pertaining to a goaltender, notably in the matter of equipment, freezing the puck, and physical contact with opponents.
