PROactive Sports Mgmt Group

Well due to so many complaints from game officials we have to adjust our WWHL rules to read as follows:


Any player that gets a 10 minute misconduct will be suspended for the next game.


The amount of officials is decreasing and the main reason is the abuse they take from the players in all three divisions. We hope that everyone will take a second to think before yelling and screaming about a missed icing or offside etc.

Thank you
Darryl Wolski - WWHL

Please note some new rules

The following rules have been changed and modified as of Oct 19 - 2011.

Playoffs

- all players must have played a minimum of 10 games in the WWHL or they are not allowed to participate in WWHL playoffs or Provincials.  Goaltenders are only allowed in emergency purpose.

Forfeit Games

Should your team have not enough players or no show the other team will get the automatic 1 - 0 win

Cost to file a protest: To file a protest will cost $150.00. If you win the protest the money will be refunded, if not you will lose the protest
application fee. The only protest heard will be for the use of non rostered players...otherwise the referee's decision is final. Protests must be filed in writing by no later than 12 hours after the scheduled game.

Non WWHL Players: The use of NON WWHL rostered players will result in an automatic default of that game, plus a review will be held if a fine or suspension will be given to that team. This can be also a protest issue through the league office.

Minimum Players to start a game: A minimum of 5 players plus a goalie must be ready to start a game. If less than the required amount the game will be a default. The on and off ice officials are not required to stay at this point as well. If your team has less than 8 players you can pick up other players from your own division. No outside WWHL players are permitted to play in league or playoff games.


Injured or Missing Goaltenders - If a Division 3 team is missing their goaltender they must call goalies within their own division first. If they can still not locate a goaltender then they can call a goaltender from another division. ONLY WWHL GOALTENDERS are allowed to play in league and playoff games. If a goaltender is missing the game is an automatic default loss for that team. But in the case a goaltender is hurt during a game, the game can continue with 6 skaters.

Division are rostered WWHL players. NO OUTSIDE PLAYERS ARE ALLOWED. If your goaltender doesn't show up, the game is an automatic default. In the case of the other team having two goaltenders you can ask to borrow one. However that team has the right not to let you use one of their goaltenders. In the case of a default the game will finish 1 - 0.
