Showdown Skills Competition - 12:15 PM Totem 1 on Saturday March 25th
Yes, the Thrills… the Excitement… the Laughter! Each team can elect to participate. In order to participate, each team must choose different player(s) for each category, i.e., you cannot have the same player competing in more than one skilled event. It’s been designed for Fun! Let’s strive to keep it that way! This fun event will be held on Saturday, March 25th, prior to the semi-final rounds.
Competitors:
Tier 5 – 16 teams
Tier 3 – 4 teams
Female – 4 teams
1. Hardest Shot
Teams will have 1 shooter from each team and they will get 2 shots each. A puck will be placed
on the ringette line. Players can get a skating start from as far back as the blue line. The speed of
each shot is recorded. The hardest shot (fastest speed recorded) will be used to determine the
winner. If there is a tie, the average of the player’s two shots will determine the winner. If still
tied, a shoot off with one shot each will determine a winner.
2. Fastest Skater
Total entry of 1 skater per team, two players at a time line up across from one another at the
red line. To determine who matches against whom they will draw numbers; 1 will skate against
1 and so on. We will have two judges at the red line to indicate who crosses first. Then we
proceed with the next two skaters and so on. The Winners of each race will move on to the next
round until only one player remains and is declared the faster Yelnats skater!
3. Shoot-Out
1 player and 1 goalie from each team will start this challenge. In all divisions goalies will each
face 4 shooters (4 total shots) in the first round and all players will get 4 shots (1 each against 4
different goalies). Goals and saves will be recorded for each goaltender and shooter. This will
continue until all goalies and shooters have gone. The top 4 shooters and goalies for the Tier 5
group and the top 2 shooters and goalies in Tier 3 and Female groups will advance to the next
round. The top performers in the second round will be declared winners. Any ties between
players and/or goalies in either round will be broken by an added sudden death round.
4. Goaltender Challenge
Will have 1 goalie from each team, if a team has only 1 goalie they may enter both goalie
events. Challenge will start with the goalies lying on their back in the middle of the net/crease
area, once they are told “Go”, they are timed. Goalie gets up to his/her feet, skates to the 2
pucks on the blue line, left hand side, goalies will turn around and shoot the puck for the net.
For every goal that is scored, two seconds will be taken off their time. Goalies then skate to the
pucks on the right side, shoot the puck and then skate hard and cross the goal line on the same
side they are shooting from. Winner with the quickest time wins. If there is a tie, the finalists will
repeat the challenge.
For Tier 5, a winner and a runner up will be declared for each category. For the Tier 3 and Female
groups, only a winner will be declared. These players will be recognized for their accomplishments
immediately following each event.
