Rules
While the Professional Inline Hockey Association follows the general rules of inline hockey, it differs slightly from those used in international games organized by the IIHF-InLine (IIHF-InLine) such as the IIHF InLine Hockey World Championship. Infractions of the rules can lead to either the stoppage of play or a penalty call for more serious infractions.
A rule difference between the PIHA and the IIHF-InLine rules concerns illegal clearing calls. In the IIHF-InLine, a linesman stops play the moment the puck crosses the goal line for an illegal clearing violation. In the PIHA, there is no illegal clearing violation.
The PIHA and IIHF-InLine differ also in penalty rules. In the PIHA, minor penalties have a duration of two minutes, as opposed to one and one-half minutes in the IIHF-InLine. major penalties in the PIHA have a duration of five minutes, as opposed to four minutes in the IIHF-InLine.
