President's Message
Welcome to the Peterborough Recreational Oldtimers Hockey League (PROHL) website!
Since our inaugural season of 1974/75, the Peterborough Recreational Oldtimers Hockey League has been the mainstay of adult recreational hockey in the community. From our initial six-team beginnings we have evolved into a 14-team, three division league. The league's philosophy of "fun, fellowship and fair play" has been the cornerstone of our success as we head into the 2008-2009 season. As we begin our 35th season, we are pleased to report that two of our original players, Jim Gillogly and Ron Bailey, are still with the league.
Please enjoy our website and feel free to contact us for any further information you may require.
For the first 6 weeks of the season, on a trial basis, we will use the following rules with respect to penalties in all three divisions.
- A penalty shot will be awarded for every minor penalty. Nobody will go to the penalty box.
- A penalty shot will be awarded for an aggressive penalty and the player will go to the penalty box. Teams will continue to play 5 a side.
- A penalty shot will be awarded for a major penalty. The offender will be ejected for the remainder of the game. However, both teams still play 5 a side.
- For coincidental penalties the above applies as for type of penalty called. Both teams will take a penalty shot.
- If the player is injured and can’t take the penalty shot, the referee will appoint one of the players on the ice at the time of the call.

President, PROHL
