Written Option 1: The SHL has recruited your player to shake things up a little with the rules of the game as the league believes there aren’t enough power plays per game. Your player has been tasked with creating a rule that will come with an associated penalty. What is the new rule that your player comes up with? What is the penalty called for a player that breaks that rule? Do rule breakers simply get sent to the penalty box, or is there another form of punishment they must complete before returning to the ice? How often does this new penalty get called per game?

I would like to implement a rule where rather than elicit a a challenge and be faced with a penalty should the challenge become unsuccessful I would like to see a test of strength be presented on ice. I would like to over each team 1 chance per game to make a challenge on any call and should the call be successful then the call stands. However if the call is unsuccessful then the coach from each team must choose a player to compete on a 1v1 where the at fault team must defend (along with the goalie) while the rewarding team is permitted the opportunity to be a hero and score a goal. The attacking player would start at the centre dot and the defending player could start anywhere along the goal line and they would come out to meet each other. This allows both players to get some momentum going. If the attacker scores they get a goal. If the puck passes the goal line the play is ruled dead and the attack unsuccessful.
