Games ending in a tie play a 5 minute 4-on-4 overtime.
If the game remains tied after overtime, a 5 round shootout determines a winner.
Teams losing in overtime or a shootout receive a point.

On October 22, 2005, Admirals radio broadcaster Kyle Schultz passed away of heart failure at the young age of 41. He was hired in 2003 to replace Brian Manthey. His calls of the Admirals Calder Cup triumph will be etched in the minds of all Admirals fans. The Admirals wore a 'KS' patch on their jerseys for the rest of that season with the phrase 'Old Time Hockey', which was one of his favorite sayings.
