NHL has announced rule changes for the 2024-25 season
The NHL announced that there will be some new rules for the upcoming 2024-25 season.
With hockey right around the corner, the NHL announced today that there will be some changes to the rules heading into the 2024-25 season and gave an explanation for all of them.
One of the new rules will be the ability to take back a delay of game penalty for shooting the puck over the glass.
"This only will apply to delay of game penalties when the puck is determined to have deflected off a player, stick, glass or boards, and not on a judgment call on how the puck left the defensive zone (e.g., batted pucks or if the puck was shot out from the defensive zone). In the event of a failed challenge, another two-minute minor penalty will be assessed (in addition to the existing delay of game penalty)."
Another change to the rules is that the defending team will no longer be able to change it's lines if their goaltender dislodges the net, and off of an icing the offensive center man will only receive one warning.
"There will be an adjustment to Rule 63.8 so that the defensive team cannot make a line change in the event its goaltender accidentally dislodges the net (old language applied just to skater).
Following an icing, the offensive center also now will receive one warning (same as the defensive player) for a face-off violation."
The last rule change is that players will receive one warning about sitting on the boards, and after that they will be called for a penalty if it happens again.
"The referee now will provide the offending team (coach and players) with one warning regarding players sitting on the boards (and will so advise the other team). After one warning in a game, the team precipitating the warning will be issued a bench minor penalty for future violations."
These changes have already been approved by the board and will be enforced at the start of the season.
