nhl to try faceoff circle in front of net national hockey league owners and officials have met and come up with 12 fairly substantial rule changes which will be in effect next season most important was the pro visional change of the faceoff circles in the end zones which will be replaced by one large circle of 10foot radius directly in front of each net the centre spot being 20 feet out the goalers crease has been en larged from 3 by 7 feet to 1 by s so that there will be one foot clear ance between the circumference of the circle and the goal crease the faceoil circle change will be in effect for all the training season and will be used in the annual ail- star game in toronto after which it will be decided whether it is to stay another change was to reduce from 17 players to 15 the rosier of each club exclusive of goalkeeper the change was made with an idea of economy and to keep in play players who have been spending too much time on the bench it was felt that it might cut loose some players for trade with weaker clubs and consequently strengthen the league the match penalty rule has been amended to eliminate automatic suspension and a fine of 100 has been substituted with further line and suspension at the discretion of the president emergency goalkeepers amat eur cannot be employed as sub stitutes for penalized goalies in slowwhistle penalties where the foul has been indicated but play has carried on the subsequent face- oil will take place where the stop page eventually occurs and not where the foul was committed where coinciding penalties occur the

picks up the puck out of the crease one revision in the icing rule was that if the puck was played by a goalie at all it remained in play this move in the presidents words was aimed at forcing defensemen to get up oil their pants and go and get it a goal will be allowed when the goalie is removed and an offending player has no one else to beat if he is interfered with by a player who has illegally entered the game from either the players bench or the penalty box when a player in a like situation is fouled from be hind a goal shall be allowed on a recommendation received from the cha
