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.

Famous quotes containing the words traditional and/or rules:
“The traditional American husband and father had the responsibilities—and the privileges—of playing the role of primary provider. Sharing that role is not easy. To yield exclusive access to the role is to surrender some of the potential for fulfilling the hero fantasy—a fantasy that appeals to us all. The loss is far from trivial.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“... cooking is just like religion. Rules don’t no more make a cook than sermons make a saint.”
—Anonymous, U.S. cook. As quoted in I Dream a World, by Leah Chase, who was quoted in turn by Brian Lanker (1989)
