Agreed. I've not heard of any new rule. I do recall hearing that IF JV is able to play OT and then if still tied, go to a penalty shootout then continue on with the game.
The big IF is there because IF the JV game will delay a Varsity Game by a large amount of time, then JV would need to go to a Shootout. This is so that teams that travel an hour or more don't get home later on a school night than needed.
