Option 2

One specific rule I'd like to see changed in all hockey leagues is the offside rule. At this point it's only become a way to slow down teams' offenses while also creating 10 minute long reviews after goals to determine if a player was a millimeter on the wrong side of the blue line when entering the zone. It's just no fun.

And I'd change it by simply removing it. Remove the offside face-off dots and blue lines, or keep them for aesthetics. I don't really care about those. But being "off side" is not longer a thing. Send your forward all the way down to the opposing goalie and have your defenseman send a hail mary pass all the way down and hope for a lucky bounce. Doesn't that sound a lot more fun than having all players slow down by the blue line and having to dump and chase every time?
