Hockey rule changes
The hockey contract dispute has finally been settled. The players eventually caved and agreed to a salary cap. I think that's probably best for the sport, so huzzah.The NHL just announced a whole bunch of rule changes for next season. They want to increase the offensive flourishes and open play, and I think that's super. Here are a few changes that struck my eye:
- Following a scoreless five-minute overtime, three players from each team participate in a shootout.Here's the full rule change list. It looks like they are pulling out all the stops and taking the lost season as an attempt to start out fresh. The changes look like they will create a game with less stoppages and more rushes. I'm all for 'em.
- Two-line passes will now be legal. The centre-red line will be ignored for off-side purposes.
- The blue-lines will be moved closer together to create an additional four feet in each of the offensive zones.
- The goal-lines will be moved two feet, to 11 feet from the end boards.
- A team that ices the puck cannot make a line change prior to the ensuing face-off.
- Goalies may play the puck behind the goal-line only in a trapezoid-shaped area defined by lines that begin six feet from either goal post and extend diagonally to points 28 feet apart at the end boards.
