1. All players participating in the ICE Hockey League must properly wear a mouth guard.
   
   
2. It‘s recommended that goalkeepers wear proper mouth protection, but not mandatory.

When player(s) do not adhere: One team warning will be given, and player will be instructed to not participate in the game until proper protection is worn.

After a team warning has been issued by the referee and the same/or different players participate in play without proper mouth protection, the referee will issue a 10-misconduct penalty, as per IIHF Rule - Illegal or Dangerous Equipment.

During the course of play, if a player who entered the ice with a mouth guard loses his mouth guard, he may continue play until the 1st stoppage of play or has made a line change during play.

If the loss of a mouth guard during play becomes repetitive, the player(s) will receive 2-minute penalty for Unsportsmanlike Conduct and a 10-minute Misconduct.

The ICE Hockey League has requested the referees to enforce this rule on every skater. A club not adhering to the rule may have multiple misconduct penalties, leading to not enough players to fulfil a proper line up. In such a case, the game will be deemed over and recorded as a loss to the respective team.
