Option 1

In an attempt to bring more balance to the games, allow for more upsets and give the underdogs a shot at winning more games, I propose we adopt the following rule:

Following every goal by a team, they are required to remove the goalscorer from the game for the remainder of the game. If this would put them team below the minimum number of players needed to participate in a game (12 forwards and 6 defensemen), they have to play their current goalie as a skater, and put their backup goalie in net. They then select a random spectator to be their new backup goalie.

This'll potentially lead to more goals (as after two goals, a spectator will end up in net), as well as more fanbase participation in games. It'll be exciting for people to go to games, knowing they could end up on the ice, together with their favourite players.
