Coaches may be on ice during Cross Ice games. At U7, coaches are permitted to fulfill the role of referee as needed.
The U7 division begins scheduled Cross Ice games in January. 1 game per week. Referee provided. No score is kept.
Goaltending is a rotating position. Wearing goalie equipment is not required to defend the net in U7, but equipment will be provided where possible.
Tiering: Depending on registration numbers and the resulting number of teams, U7 age divisions may be tiered. This means an age division may be partitioned so teams of like ability play with each other.
