** To play you'll need to have the UQ Hockey Game Parts
**
Re-live the fun and excitement of the 2005-06 Southern Professionall Hockey
League season.
Ultra Quick Hockey is a dual layered game. The first layer allows you to quickly resolve a contest between two NHL teams providing you with a final score. The second layer adds individual stats for goals and assists, without bogging down the game. As with many of our other Ultra Quick games you can easily play out a team's full schedule in a single sitting. Ultra Quick Hockey is the perfect complimentary game to BigBep Hockey, and it also stands well on it's own.
The Southern Professional Hockey League (SPHL) is a low-level professional
ice hockey league with teams located in the southeastern United States.
The SPHL's history traces back to three other short-lived leagues. The
Atlantic Coast Hockey League started play in the 2002-03 season. After its only
season, the league became the South East Hockey League, in the same season as
the World Hockey Association 2 began play. As both the SEHL and WHA2 folded,
surviving teams from both leagues as well as two expansion teams formed the SPHL.
Key Rule Differences
As per minor leagues, there are some rule differences between the SPHL and
the NHL (and even the ECHL and AHL).
- A team may dress sixteen regular players to a game. Two players dressed
for the game will be goaltenders.
- There is no trapezoid restriction limiting the goaltender playing the puck
and is eligible to play the puck anywhere on his side of the center redline.
- A mouthpiece is required for all players except the goaltender.
- No curvature of stick limitations as in the NHL, AHL, and ECHL.
- All overtime periods in the regular season are between three skaters per
team and the goaltender (3 on 3, compared to 4 on 4 in other leagues). Penalty
rules differ during the overtime:
- During the first three minutes of overtime, in case of a penalty, the
non-offending team is awarded one extra skater per penalty (up to five).
- In the final two minutes, any minor penalty results in an automatic
penalty shot.
