About The Game

The Canadian Major Indoor Soccer League game is played on a regulation-sized hockey rink covered with artificial turf. The goals measure eight by 14 feet wide and are recessed into the end boards. The CMISL has joined the PASL and will adopt PASL rules which will promote a wide open style of play.

The CMISL provides its fans with end-to-end action by virtue of the rules designed to encourage an offensive rather than defensive style of play. Notable rule changes; slide tackling has been banned and there are no longer 2 line offsides.

All Goals scored are worth a single point.

Each side is comprised of six players, including the goalkeeper. Players can change on the fly and, in some situations, penalized teams will be required to play a man short for the duration of the penalty.

CMISL games are comprised of four 15-minute quarters while doubleheaders feature two games with each contest consisting of two 20-minute halves.
