The NHL announced four major rule changes for next season
In a surprise announcement today, it was announced that there will be four new rules heading into next season.
The NHL is always trying to make the league better, and try to add new rules into the league, and today there was an announcement that the NHL will be adding four new rules that will impact different parts of the game for next year.
The new rules were announced by Eric Engles on X (twitter) today:
1.Expansion of coach's challenge for puck-over-glass (only to challenge a called penalty, not to put one on the board).
2.Attacking players now get warned instead of removed from face off following an icing call.
3.Inadvertently knocking the net off rule (64.A iv)will now also apply to goalies (if they or anyone on the team does it, attacking team gets to choose face off location in o-zone and defending team can't change).
4.Rule 75.3 instituted for unsportsmanlike conduct-offending team will be first warned (and then penalized if they didn't heed the warning) for players hanging over the boards prior to a line change.
These aren't game breaking changes, but just some changes to make the game better.
