Rule changes
The maximum curvature of a player's stick was increased to three-quarters of an inch. Previously, the maximum curvature had been one-half inch.
During shootouts, an opposing team may request measurement of a shooter's stick before the shooter's attempt. If the stick is found to be legal, the complaining team would forfeit its next attempt and the player listed for the next attempt would not be permitted to participate until all other eligible players have participated. The team would be fined $5,000, the coach $1,000. If the stick is illegal, the offending player would be ineligible in the shootout and the team would forfeit that attempt. The team would be fined $5,000, the player $1,000.
