ABOUT VWHO
VWHO is a "C" level league with 5 teams with players who have played either at a higher level in the past (Youth, HS, College) or became a higher level player as an adult.
​
VWHO plays ALL games at Cairns Arena in South Burlington, on Fridays and Saturdays evenings from September to April, usually between 6 and 9PM
​
​
WHY is VWHO We are a more skilled league with competitive play encouraged, but the main goal is always to have fun and keep ALL players safe as possible.
​
​
VWHO teams have 3-minute warm up that begins when the official ice time begins, or when the Zamboni doors are closed, whichever is later. Games will consist of three periods. If there is a timekeeper, the first two periods will be 15-minute stop time. The third period will be run time, and its length will equal the amount of time remaining in the 75-minute ice session minus two minutes. The last two minutes of the third period will be stop time. If there is no timekeeper, all periods will be 22-minute run time. If a referee is willing to work the clock at the end of the game, the final two minutes can be stop time.
​
​
All games must fit within the allotted ice time, so the third period may need to be shortened based on remaining time. There will be a one-minute break between each period. Each team is permitted one 60-second time-out per game. Penalties shall be 2 minutes for a minor infraction.
