Players must play the ball at all times. Body checking an opponent to the ground will be assessed a one minute penalty for unnecessary roughness.

Each team must have an adult coach (21 years of age or older) who will be in charge of team discipline and act as the team's representative.

Penalty times are double the normal time (tech foul is 1 minute and personal is 2 minutes) as they are running time.

A game ending tied is decided by a sudden-death overtime, which begins immediately after regulation time with a faceoff. 3/4 Grade is a Braveheart with 1 field player and a goalie per team.

For 3/4 Grade games: Each period begins with a faceoff. Wing middies must be positioned to the left of their faceoff man, at the intersection of the sideline and the midline. Defensemen and attackmen must remain behind the goal line extended until the referees signal possession. The goalie must remain in the crease area until possession is signaled.

For 3/4 Grade games: After a goal is scored the ball is awarded to the scored upon goalie who puts the ball in play from his crease area. A referee must whistle to indicate play has recommenced. If a team falls behind by 6 or more goals, they are awarded the ball at midfield after they've been scored upon.

For 3/4 Grade games: All player substitutions are on the fly. Players must touch sticks at the intersection of the midline and the sideline before entering the field of play. Each team is allotted one timeout per half. Timeouts are one minute long. No TO in OT.
