At the Board of Governors meetings, the NHL announced four new rules for the 2024-25 season.
These changes aim to improve various aspects of the league.
Here are the details:
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.

The main takeaway is the increased opportunity for video reviews.
Oh boy, more video reviews! So fun!
Additionally, goalies will now be punished for intentionally moving the net, as seen with Matt Murray for the Maple Leafs earlier this year.
These tweaks might not be game-changers, but they demonstrate the league's commitment to maintaining fair and exciting play.
