Box Hockey - Traditional Rules

Traditional Rules

• Each player stands on opposite sides of the box. Your goal is to the right as you face the box, and your opponent's goal is to the left.
• To start, and after each goal, the puck placed flat, centered, on top of middle wall for the face off. Each player taps the bottom of their side of the box with their stick and then raises it to tap their opponent's stick directly above the puck in rhythm, repeating this three times. After the third tap, both players try to knock the puck off the wall.
• Each player takes turns with two hits, and whichever side of the center wall the puck lands on determines who goes first. The player with the furthest distance to score goes first.
• Each player hits the puck with their stick, moving the puck through the holes to their left (see diagram) and through goal.
• To score, you must get the puck completely through your opponent's goal.
• Interfering with your opponent is not allowed.
• The dragging or carrying of the puck is not allowed.
• Pinning the puck in the corner is allowed.
• The first player to score 3 goals wins the game.
