AND
TIMING DEVICES
151 - SIREN
Each rink shall be provided with a siren or other suitable sound device to be used by the
Timekeeper.
152 - CLOCK
Electronic scoreboards with videotext are recommended for IIHF competitions.
1. The red light shall be connected to the timing device in such a manner so that, when
the period has ended, it would be impossible for the Goal Judge to turn it on.
2. At the end of a period, the fact that the Goal Judge is not able to turn on the red
light does not necessary mean that a goal is not valid. The determining factor is
whether or not the puck is completely over the goal line and in the goal before the
period ends.
3. The purpose of the green light is to enable the Referee and Linesmen to observe the
goal and light in the same sight line and know exactly when the period ends.
Each rink shall have an electric clock (scoreboard) in order to provide spectators, players and officials with accurately information concerning:
1. Names of both teams
2. Time played in any period, counting down in min
