Rink Wars 21U Division

This registration is for team captains to register their team for Rink Wars 2024 21U in New Plymouth. The entry fee for each team is $650 with a $200  non-refundable deposit due 2 days after completion/confirmation of registration.

21U is limited to 6 teams only on a first come, first served basis. Once registration is full there will be no more entries accepted. In the case that a team pulls out after registration, their deposit will be forfeit, and KIHL management will try to seek a replacement team. 

Team rosters are 8 to 10 players and up to 2 goalies. We would encourage team managers to have the rest of their squad register for the team as quickly as possible after after team registration is completed.

Games will be 15-minute running time halves. No timeouts. No Overtime.  Each team will complete a single round-robin with the top 4 teams advancing to semi-finals* (1v4, 2v3) and the winners of each advancing to the 21U final. On top of this an 8-goal mercy rule will apply to all games, if at any time during a game, one team leads by 8 goals, the game will end immediately and the final score will be that at the calling of the game. 

NOTE: KIHL Management will not allow the use of IHNZ club names and would prefer teams DO NOT use IHNZ jerseys as this is NOT an IHNZ event. 

Kind regards,
KIHL Management

*tied semifinals/finals will be determined by a 5-minute overtime followed by a 3-man shootout (if needed).
