Rule Changes
A number of rule changes were made for the 2007 season. The main changes are:
- Cross-checks to the head are more severely punished
- Cross-checking a player without the ball is now illegal
- Scoring from behind the net is now allowed, provided there is no contact between the ball and the goalie or his equipment (this effectively allows the "Air Gait" move invented by Gary Gait)
- When a penalty shot is awarded, the coach can choose any player on the team to take the shot

Famous quotes containing the word rule:
“With our principles we seek to rule our habits with an iron hand, or to justify, honor, scold, or conceal them:Mtwo men with identical principles are likely to be seeking fundamentally different things with them.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The daughter of debate, that eke discord doth sow,
Shall reap no gain where former rule hath taught still peace to
grow.
No foreign banished wight shall anchor in this port;
Our realm it brooks no stranger’s force, let them elsewhere resort.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
