The article notes minor rule changes...

-Players are now allowed a 3/4" curve in the blade of their hockey stick, instead of the traditional 1/2" which will give players more lift (and speed in many cases anyway) to their shots.

-They are also enhancing the rules for diving offences

Amongst others.

Puck over the glass should haev been changed to the same as icing, IMO. The bigger curve should be nice, now just have to wait for the stickmakers to sell the new curves to the general public...

I don't think they really needed to change size of curve on the stick. There was enough exictment and scoring last season. It just gives the players that couldn't score when the regular size to have a chance to score but i it there are alot more rules they needed to think about that rule. I think they should change the rule about the goalie can't go into the no goalie zone, thats a dumb rule!!!! GoBladesGo!!!
