What are the new rules that have been added for this year?

Had to search to be accurate but here they are:

The biggest one IMO is the, hopefully permanent, zero tolerance on Interference, Hooking and Holding/Obstruction.
Of course they had something similar already in the rules but they got amnesia pretty darn fast.

In addition, they seem to be calling penalties throughout the entire game without the typical "let the players play" nonsense. Some of the stuff that went on in the past during the last half of a third period was ridiculous. Hell... the playoffs were even worse.

Shootout has to go..

And defensemen should be allowed to clear out guys setin up house in front of the net. Fowards now can mug the goalie and get away with it but
a foward who is looked at wrong in front of the net draws 2 mins.

I suggest you might want to start watching ringet then. I mean cripes, I was watching some footage from the '72 Hockey Summit. Hockey has been so pussified it's unbelieveable.
