Game Limits for Squirts and 10U - 35 games:

• Squirt and 10U game limit is 35 games.  A game is a game regardless if it is tournament, exhibition or league. They all count as one game. 
• In calculating the 35 game limit, D3 does not count the D3 Season End Tournament games against that total.
• No team shall play more than one (1) league game, exhibition, or controlled scrimmage per day.
• Teams are allowed to play two (2) tournament games per day.  If you have two tournament games in a day, that counts as two games.

For Squirts and 10U Girls, a shared practice will be allowed and not count against the 35 game limit if the following criteria are met:

• The practice plan is sent 10 days prior to the scheduled practice to the District Director and
• The teams scrimmage no more than ten (10) minutes at the end of the shared practice.

If the criteria are not met, the shared practice will be considered a controlled scrimmage and count against the 35 game limit.

Coaches On-Ice Scrimmages or “controlled scrimmages” are allowed as a coaching tool for teaching position play and to address various game situations.  All of the following criteria must be met for the event to be considered a Coaches-On-Ice Scrimmage:

• At least one coach from each team must be on the ice for the purpose of instruction.
• No official score may be kept, but the game clock may be used.
• Teams can switch ends at some point, if desired.
• The event is conducted as practice, with the coaches stopping play from time to time to make observations and provide instruction on player positioning, etc.

The maximum limit on controlled scrimmages is 5 and these scrimmages will NOT count against the 35-game limit.  Compliance rests on the local associations and the local District.  Failure to comply shall result in a mandatory 30-day suspension.
