Tournament format:

-Teams will be awarded 3 points for a regulation win, 2 points for a win in overtime or a shootout, 1 point for a loss in overtime or a shootout, and no points for a loss in regulation.
-Top two teams after the round-robin (I could not find the rules on tiebreakers) will advance to a one-game final.
-The overtime format for round-robin games will be a 10-minute overtime period, played at three skaters a side, followed by a three-round shootout if nobody scores.
-The overtime format for the final will be continuous 20-minute overtime periods played at regular strength.
