Regel 4: Signal and Timing Devices

Regel 4.1: Signal Devices

Each Rink must be provided with a suitable sound device that will sound automatically at the conclusion of each period of play. Should the sound device fail to sound automatically when time expires, the determining factor as to whether the period has ended shall be the Game Clock.

For more information refer to DEL Regulations.

The game clock is activated by facing-off of the puck by an On-ice Official and shall be stopped by the whistle of an Off-ice Official.
Time recording for both game time and penalty time shall show time remaining to be played or served.
The Game Time Clock shall measure the time remaining in tenths (1/10) of a second during the last minute of each period.
