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
