Rules
- Main articles: American Inline Hockey League rules
While the American Inline Hockey League follows the general rules of inline hockey, it differs slightly from those used in international games organized by the International Roller Sports Federation (FIRS) such as the World Championships. Infractions of the rules can lead to either the stoppage of play or a penalty call for more serious infractions.
Like most inline hockey competitions, there are no offside or icing infractions.

Famous quotes containing the word rules:
“In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation’s history.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
“Playing games with agreed upon rules helps children learn to live by rules, establish the delicate balance between competition and cooperation, between fair play and justice and exploitation and abuse of these for personal gain. It helps them learn to manage the warmth of winning and the hurt of losing; it helps them to believe that there will be another chance to win the next time.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
