In my experience I have seen ice time policy as follows. Both Community and Elite levels have what they call 'Fair play' but it is ususlly defined differently:
Community - most LMHA's have a stated policy of equal ice time for everyone meaning just that. Lines are supposed to roll regardless of the situation. All players will be given equal ice time.
Elite hockey - their definition of fair play is that all players will have the opportunity to earn equal ice time.
Difference being in community everyone is supposed to get equal ice, in elite everyone will have the opportunity to earn equal ice.
Most LMHA's will have this somewhere in their published policies.
