Changes to the Rules and Policies of the GSL

by Jeff Brown posted 04/11/2012

The GSL has voted to amend the following rules and policies of the GSL:

3. Rosters

(a)         Fall pre-high school Midget teams shall submit an official roster of all eligible players to the District 6 Registrar no later than September 15th. Winter post-high school Midget teams shall submit an official roster of all eligible players to the District 6 Registrar no later than December 20th.  All other teams shall submit an official roster of all eligible players to the District 6 Registrar by October 15. Any team whose official roster is not submitted by the dates established herein will forfeit all games played after that date until official rosters are submitted. Out of state teams participating in the GSL must provide the league with proof that their rosters have been submitted to their USA Hockey affiliated districts by the same dates established herein.

  The following minimum number of players must be on a roster to start the GSL season per age group: Mite - 6, Squirt - 9, PeeWee - 9, Bantam - 9, Midget - 9.

(b)         The District 6 Registrar shall be notified of any changes or additions to a team’s roster before such player can participate in a League Game.

(c)         Players shall not be added to a team’s roster or transferred to another team’s roster representing the same Association after January 15th except with the approval of the GSL Board of Directors.

(d)         A player shall not be listed on more than one team roster in the G.S.J.A.H.L.

(e)         To field enough players for a game, any team may utilize a player from a lower classification in the same age group or any classification of a lower age group, from the same Association, to bring the total number of skaters for the game, excluding goalies, to ten (10). Such players shall be listed on the game sheet and marked with an * using their legal name. Any such player from a lower classification in the same age group or any classification of a lower age group, from the same Association, playing more than three games will become a permanent member of the team, unless doing so would leave the lower team with less than ten (10) skaters, excluding goalies.

         The three game limit may be waived for a player who is a goalie on either the upper or lower team upon written request to the President and written notification to the opposing teams in the division. An upper team’s goalie shall not play on a lower team as a goalie if another lower team goalie is available from the same age bracket.

(f)         Division age classifications shall follow those approved by USA Hockey.

4. Penalties

(a)         Any player receiving three (3) penalties in a game, shall be removed from the remainder of that game only.

(b)         Three (3) fighting penalties in one season shall result in a one (1) year suspension from participation in League Games from the date of the third penalty and shall carry over to the following season. An automatic hearing shall be scheduled for any player receiving a one (1) year suspension. Any disciplinary hearing shall follow the disciplinary procedures of Massachusetts Hockey.

(c)         Coaches will be responsible to enforce this rule. A coach or team official who allows the participation of an ineligible player in any game shall be subject to a disciplinary hearing.

(d) A player who has been given a game misconduct(s) MUST sit out the next league game(s). If the player who has received a game misconduct(s) does not sit out the next league game(s) and plays in the next league gam(s) then the "penalized player's team" will forfeit the game(s) played and said player must sit out the next league games(s).
