| CIHL Teams to Compete for Coy Cup |
|
The 2012 Senior Male AA ‘Coy Cup’ will be held in Kitimat, BC at the Tamitik Arena from March 13-17, 2012. This year the prestigious five-day championship will consist of four (4) teams from the Central Interior Hockey League (CIHL) vying for the Cup.
Teams that will participate in this year’s championship will be decided based on the following: 1. The host team, Kitimat Ice Demons, will earn a bye 2. The remaining three (3) spots will be filled based on CIHL playoff results: a. The two (2) league playoff finalists will advance to the Coy Cup b. The losing semi-finalist with the most points will advance to the Coy Cup Note: If the Kitimat Ice Demons are one of the two teams in the league playoff finals, then both losing semi finalists (along with the Demons and the other playoff finalist) will advance to the Coy Cup. The Kitimat Ice Demons are looking to defend the Cup, as they won the 2011 championship which was held in Prince Rupert, BC. The Coy Cup was donated to BC Hockey by Colonel Coy of the 50th Gordon Highlanders (now the 16th Scottish) of Victoria, BC. It is emblematic of the Senior AA Amateur Hockey Championship of British Columbia. The first Coy Cup was awarded to the Enderby Hockey Club in the 1922-1923 season. |
| Blackout game between Houston and Hazelton |
|
On November 12th, 2011 the game between the Hazelton Wolverines and Houston Luckies was cut short one minute into the third period because of a power outage. At the time of the power outage the Houston Luckies were leading 4-0.
The Hazelton Wolverines have decided to concede the game to the Houston Luckies because two thirds of the game had been completed and the score at the time. The Houston Luckies will be awarded two points and there will be no punitive measures accessed to the Hazelton Wolverines. |
| Play Off Tie Break Rules |
|
With the playoffs on the horizon I wanted to clarify the standings and tie breakers.
c
First and second in each division make the playoffs and then the next two teams with the most points will also qualify. The three first place teams will be ranked 1 to 3 according to points and the other 5 teams will be ranked 4 to 8 according to points.
The C.I.H.L.'s standings tie breaker is from BC Hockey Regulations section 5.22 and reads as follows… Tie Breaking Procedure In the event Teams are tied for a playoff position after a Round Robin series is completed, the following procedure shall be utilized to determine the placing of the tied teams: a) If two (2) teams are tied, the winner of the Round Robin game between those two (2) teams will receive the higher placing. If three (3) or more teams are tied, the team which has accumulated the most points in games against the tied teams will receive the highest placing, the team with the next most points in games against the tied teams will receive the next highest placing, and so on. b) If any teams remain tied after (a) has been applied, then the Team with the most wins in the round robin series (note that this includes all games in the round robin series and is not limited to games between the tied teams only) will receive the higher placing, and so on. c) If any teams remain tied after (a) and (b) have been applied, then the team with the best goal average in games between the tied teams will receive the higher placing, and so on. The goal average of the teams is to be determined by dividing the total number of goals for and against into the total number of goals for, with the Team having the highest percentage will be awarded the higher position. d) If any teams remain tied after (a), (b) and (c) have been applied, then the team with the best goal average in the round robin series (note that this includes all games in the round robin series and is not limited to games between the tied teams only) will recieve the higher placing, and so on. The goal average of a team is to be determined by dividing the total number of goals for and against into the total number of goals for, with the Team having the highest percentage will be awarded the higher position. (Example: Goals for 10, goals against 4; percentage is 10/14 = .714). In determing the goal average the maximum goal differential that may be applied in any single game shall be seven (7). e) If any teams remain tied after (a), (b), (c) and (d) the team that recieved the least minutes in penalties in the round robin games between the tied teams will recieve the higher placing, and so on. f) If teams are still tied after all previous methods have been applied, then the winner of the playoff position will be decided by the toss of a coin. |
