SHOT CLOCK INFO

Definition: Shot on Goal

A shot on goal is taken when the team in possession of the ring legally propels the ring toward the other team's goal and:

• the ring enters the net
• the ring contacts a goal post or the cross bar
• the ring contacts the goalkeeper or AGK within the crease
• the ring contacts the goalkeeper outside the goal crease and that contact prevents the ring from entering the net

Signal and Timing Device

Shot Clock

The rink shall have a separate clock, in addition to the game clock, that counts down time in seconds. Two identical display units are required, one in each end zone. The display unit shall be mounted behind and above the end boards, no higher than the top of the glass, between the centre of the goal and the beginning of the arc of the corner to the goalkeeper's left. The position of the display units relative to the goal must be identical in each end zone. 

Playing Rules

The shot clock shall be set to 30 seconds at the beginning of each period The shot clock shall count down only when the game clock counts down. The shot clock shall be started when play is started and stopped when play is stopped.
