NCAA hockey follows a rulebook that closely resembles the NHL, but with several key differences. An outline of the most significant differences is included below. Show
NCAA games can end in ties, although conferences may elect to use a three-person shootout to award points in league standings after the initial five-minute OT. Non-conference games tied after the initial five-minute OT will end as ties. Regular-season tournaments may use a shootout to break ties after the initial five-minute OT. Each team receives an additional timeout in overtime if it had already utilized its timeout in regulation.
When the initial force of the contact is a shoulder to the body of the opponent and then slides up to the head or neck area, this is not classified as contact to the head. This type of action may still be penalized, at the referee's discretion, as another penalty (e.g., charging, roughing, elbowing, etc.).
On an initial faceoff violation, the center shall not be removed. The linesman will issue a warning to the violating team and any subsequent violation by the same team during the same faceoff will result in a bench minor.
Video replay may be used, if available, to determine if a play that led to a goal was offsides or if the attacking team had too many men on the ice. During the regular season, prior to the final 10 minutes of regulation and overtime, these reviews require a coach's challenge. Goals scored where a high stick or puck hitting the protective netting is in question require a coach’s challenge to be reviewed. Once a review is initiated, all aspects of a play that are eligible for review may be considered, not just what has been challenged by a coach. In the NCAA Tournament and in conference tournaments or regular-season games with suitable facilities, a video replay official will be assigned to a booth in the arena, much like in the NHL. Officials may use video replay during a game to review penalties that would result in the removal of a player to ensure proper enforcement. This option, previously only available in the postseason, now applies to the regular season as well. The use of video in the players’ bench area is prohibited.
