Scoresheet Instructions

Home/Visitor:
Write your team name, be sure to write 1 or 2 if your club has 2 teams in the same division. Example: Mariners 1, Bears 2

Division:
Write the level…. PeeWee A, Squirt BB, Midget A16U. In the Midget level, don’t forget to add 16U or 17U. Do not write major or minor.

Jersey #:
List all SCAHA jersey numbers. If a player is not wearing his assigned jersey number, input the jersey number he is wearing for that game in parenthesis next to his SCAHA number.

Roster:
All player names need to be written on the scoresheet as written on their birth certificate. No last name first initial and nicknames will be accepted. PLEASE, do not let the players print their own name and numbers. If possible, use pre-printed labels. You will need 4 labels, 1 for each copy of the score sheet. Your club registrar can provide you with the printed roster/labels.

Signing:
Players are not longer required to sign score sheets.

Game#:
Very Important. All game numbers can be located on Sportability under schedules. We will no longer be using the Alpha designation (G, T, EX) for game numbers.

Referee, Linesman Names:
Please print their names prior to the game. This can be done during warm-ups. The officials will then sign their names after the game. Doing this guarantees you can read their name.

Notes section:
This is the only place a player serving a suspension may sign. This section should also be used to note all injuries, goalie change, running time, time-outs and any other information during the course of the game. There is no need to list hat tricks and playmakers.

SCORING:

S/P:
S – Shorthanded Goal
P – Power play Goal
E – Empty Net Goal
Apply these to the applicable goals.

Per:
This is the Period (1,2,3) For overtime (post season only) you may use 4 or OT.

Time:
This is the time remaining on the clock only, NOT the time elapsed in the game as is done in Pro hockey.

G/A:
Goals and Assists. Remember some goals do not have assists. If the official gives you an incorrect player number for goals and assists, please speak with the official during the next stoppage of play, in-between periods or after the game prior to distributing the scoresheet to correct this.

PENALTIES

Definition of a Game Misconduct:
A player receiving a game misconduct or Match penalty must leave the game immediately. The player is then assessed 10 minutes to his total penalty minutes for each Game Misconduct and/or Match Penalty. Multiple Game misconducts can be assessed to 1 player in a single game.

Automatic Game Misconducts:
Scorekeepers should notify the referee if the referee is not aware one of the following situations has occurred.
-A Player receiving 5 + penalties in 1 game.
-A Player receiving 2 majors in 1 game.
-A Coach who’s team receives 15 + penalties in 1 game

Note: Misconduct is NOT a game misconduct. The player serves his full 10 minutes for misconduct.

Plyr:
This is the player number. Again, as mentioned under G/A, if the official gives you a player number the team does not have. Please speak with the official during the next stoppage of play, in-between periods or after the game prior to distributing the scoresheet to correct this. Players serving other player penalties are not listed in this column. If 61 receive a 2 and a 10, player #28 has to serve his 2. Below you will see #28 circled next to the infraction. A “B” is listed for all bench penalties.

Penalty: Write the infraction or abbreviate: H stick, X-checking, Rough, mis. Please identify a game misconduct and misconduct. 10 minutes is listed under the minute column for each game misconduct and / or Match penalties. A player does not serve those 10 minutes. The minutes are only added the players total season penalty minutes.

The above player received 4 penalties and a game. He now has 5 penalties, which gave him another Game. Player game misconducts go against the coaches 15+ penalties. The team could have had 14 penalties. The player with the 5+ penalties gets the automatic game. This now gives the coach 15 penalties and 1 game suspension. The coach’s game misconduct is listed in the penalties with 10 minutes. All of these penalties count against the team total penalty minutes.

OFF:
This is the time on the clock the player came off the ice.

START:
This is the time the penalty starts. In most cases it’s the same time as the off time.

ON:
This is the time on the clock the player steps ON the ice.


Other penalty situations:

A 2 and a 10 situation. This is most common when a player receives a two-minute minor penalty then a 10-minute misconduct penalty such as in checking from behind. #61 received 2/10. He stepped off the ice @ 13:00. His start time is 13:00 for the 2 minutes. His start time for the 10 minutes is when the 2 min minor expires – 11:00 (it can start earlier if PP goal was scored). His ON time is 1:00 W. The ‘W’ mean whistle. Do not list the time the player actually stepped on the ice. List only the time the player is entitled to leave the penalty box.

Coincidental:

A player from each team receives a coincidental minor. The penalties should be listed as follows:

Additional Penalty information:
There is no such thing as a 4-minute penalty. This is two 2-minute penalties. They are to be listed on the scoresheet as 2 separate penalties.

Goaltender Records:
It is very important to keep shots on goal as accurate as possible. We all want little Johnny to get credited that assist. We also want the goalies to have the same credibility. It is considered a shot on goal if the puck could go in without the goalie being there. Glove saves outside the net posts are not a shot on goal no matter how awesome it looks. Empty net goals are also not a shot on goal. Shots taken before a player crosses the redline are not a shot on goal unless the shot goes in as a goal.

No.:
The starting goalie is listed first. The second goalie is listed below. Indicate the goalie time change in the note section for correct goalie stats. Pay special attention to this. List the Goalie change in the Note section.

Box 1, 2, 3:
These are the periods. Shots faced are listed on the top box. Shots SAVED are listed in the box underneath.

Total:
List total shots in the top box. List total SAVES in the bottom box:
