Rule 5.4 – Goal Judges

There will be one Goal Judge behind each goal. The Goal Judges will not be members of either competing team, nor will they be replaced during the progress of the game, unless it becomes apparent that either Goal Judge, on the account of partisanship or any other cause, is guilty of giving unjust decisions. In such cases, the Referee in charge may appoint another Goal Judge to act in their place.
Each Goal Judge will be stationed in the designated area behind each goal for the duration of the game, and they will not change ends at any time after the game begins. Their jurisdiction is limited to that game only.
In the event of a goal being claimed, the Goal Judge will decide whether or not the puck has passed between the goal posts and entirely over the goal line. The decision will simply be goal or no goal.
The Referee is not required to consult with the Goal Judge in the event of a disputed goal, if they are sure of their call.
