Ideas to Improve Hockey / NHL
Vary rink sizes - length from 210’ - 190’ - Boston Arena, before 1924 was 220 x 90 but in 1924 was 200 x 80 feet when Bruins moved in.
Width from 80-95 wide -
Boston garden was 191 x 84
Chicago Stadium was 185 x 85
Buffalo - 196 x 85
Player benches across, centred so no “long change”
1934-40 - Penalty shot circle - 20’ Diameter 38’ from goal line
1943 - Red Line added - to speed up game and reduce offside
Penalty shot for defensive zone stick infractions - hooking, tripping, slashing, cross check inside the house. Shoot from circle, puck live if a rebound. Players line up behind circles.
No crosschecks - none
Eliminate standing with puck behind net to reset - defensive team must move puck - can be side to side or backward, but can not stand still waiting for line changes
Presentation - more conversations with players when prepping - similar to F1 - not scripted - just have reporter walking around, talking to equipment managers, maybe get a quick chat with a player if they happen to be standing around.
