Thanks to Mike for posting the new rules. Most, I think, are good ideas -
e.g., I like rule 4-2(e) that allows teams to skate full strength after
co-incidental minors. On the other hand, I don't think so highly of the
corresponding rule 4-3(b) for coincidental majors. IMHO if someone gets a
major, even coincidental, the teams should be short handed. Not making them
shorthanded takes a little of the sting out of the penalty and, I fear, will
make major penalty taking a little more common.
As to the faceoff circle rule 6-12(a), I don't know how well that will work.
Just to be silly, what would happen if some member of a team kept touching the
circle until all members for his side had been thrown out? Forcing a
throw-out is only going to slow things down. If you are serious about
stopping this most common of all infractions, make it a minor penalty to touch
the circle during the faceoff. I would not support that, BTW.
One point of emphasis I would like to see added is an additional minor penalty
for the instigator of roughing or fighting. I know its often very hard to
tell who the instigator is, but by gollys, if someone starts the rough stuff,
his team ought to be a man down even if the other player retaliates!
