ADULT HOCKEY
Ice In Paradise’s Santa Barbara Adult Hockey League (SBAHL) follows current USA Hockey rules. This document outlines those policies, as well as other guidelines specific to Ice in Paradise (IIP). Our rink management — including its Adult Hockey Director (AHD), staff, Customer Service Representatives (CSRs), and the IIP board — reserves the right to amend rules at any time without notice, even if the changes are not immediately reflected in this Google doc. Such alterations, whether designed to improve the quality of league play, or to serve IIP’s internal needs, can be implemented at the total discretion of the rink. Should any discrepancies or conflicts arise, management retains the final say in all matters.
STICK & PUCK
These rules are meant to keep you and everyone around you safe on and off the ice. We require that everyone follows the rules listed below. Any violation of our Stick Time Rules could result in your privileges as a skater being revoked. All rules, policies, and procedures are subject to change.
​
-
Full hockey equipment is mandatory for all skaters.
-
Helmets must be worn at all times, including when you are in the player’s bench areas.
-
Be aware of those around you when shooting/skating for a puck. Don't intentionally cut people off.
-
No small/full ice scrimmages allowed. Stick and Puck allows players to work on the skill of their choice and scrimmages pose a safety liability and violators of this rule will lose ice privileges.

All coaches must be a registered internal or external coach with Ice in Paradise.
