2007 NLL Season - Rule Changes

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

    “Until, accustomed to disappointments, you can let yourself rule and be ruled by these strings or emanations that connect everything together, you haven’t fully exorcised the demon of doubt that sets you in motion like a rocking horse that cannot stop rocking.”
    —John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    “Resolved to ruin or to rule the state.”
    —John Dryden (1631–1700)
