Rules
Time An average game consists of two periods of 15 minutes each, with a break in between the two periods. Depending upon the level of intensity played, the periods may be 20 minutes long, especially for A and AA levels, and for the Open levels.
Passing The players must pass the ring to another player over every blue line. The player who passed it over the blue line is not allowed to touch the ring until someone else has touched it first. However, if the ring goes over two blue lines, the opposing team must touch the ring before the attacking team may touch it again, similar to icing in hockey, except that when the ring reaches the other end, the play does not stop.
Players Only 6 players are permitted on the ice at one time, these usually being a centre, two forwards, two defence, and a goalie. Exceptions to this rule include having a penalty, so that the penalized team is reduced down, depending upon on the number of players in the box, to a minimum of 3 players (not including the goalie). Another exception is "pulling" the goalie, to put another player on the ice. Pulling the goalie can happen in the event of a delayed penalty for the opposing team or whenever the team needs to get a tying goal, etc. Centre or Center in ice hockey is a forward position of a player whose primary zone of play is the middle of the ice, away from the side boards. ...

Ringette line The "Ringette line" is a red line situated between the blue line and the red goal line at the end of the rink. It creates a "zone" where the only players allowed in are three offensive team players, three defensive team players, and the goalie for the defensive team. A fourth player may join if a goalie is pulled, or two may only be allowed if there are three players in the penalty box.
Crease Goalies are the only players allowed in the crease. When a goalie makes a save, or possession is awarded to the defending team, it is called a "goalie ring". The goalie then has five seconds to throw the ring out to another player, but not past the blue line. If the goalie does not pass it out to another player, the ring is awarded back to the offending team to one of the nearby face-off circles.
Shot Clock While the opposing team is in the opposite teams end they only have 30 seconds to take a shot. When the team in which the play is in their end makes contact with the ring the shot clock restarts. The shot clock also restarts when the ring stops in the goalie's crease.
