§ 14 Athlete's Greetings

The captains of each team must introduce themselves to the referees on the ice with a handshake before each game and take leave of the referees – likewise with a handshake – at the end of each game.
After all regular season games and games in which a playoff round is decided, all players must take leave of each other by shaking hands on the ice. This practice is omitted in all other playoff games.
