At any time in the game, at the request of the Referee made to the Captain, the visiting Team must place a playing line-up on the ice and promptly commence play.

(b) Prior to the start of the game, the Manager or Coach of the home Team, having been advised by the Official Scorer or the Referee the names of the starting line-up of the visiting Team, shall name the starting line-up of the home Team. This information shall be conveyed by the Official Scorer or the Referee to the Coach of the visiting Team.

(c) No change in the starting line-up of either Team as given to the Referee or Official Scorer, or in the playing line-up on the ice, shall be made until the game is actually in progress. For an infraction of this Rule, a bench minor penalty shall be imposed upon the offending Team, provided such infraction is called to the attention of the Referee before the second face-off in the first period takes place.
