It needs pointing out that there are no time-outs in U13 and below with the exception of U13 AA, in U13 and above it is required to cut down to 2 minutes of stop time play when the time of day arena clock shows 5 or less minutes remaining on the ice allocation, penalties do not get cut down when the game clock gets cut down, penalties for all games U11 and under are 2 minutes straight-time, and officials need to be quick when coming out for the start of the period and when dropping the puck to try to get as much of the games competed as possible.

Here is a link to the U9 playing format, note that there is a drop of the puck on every new shift (please get everyone organized and drop the puck as quickly as possible):
