#1: The new rule is a change on goaltender interference. Each team gets to interfere with the goalie once per game with no penalty. This can include but is not limited to, checking the goalie, hitting the goalie, or shoving the goalie out of his crease. A team must use their opportunity carefully. Any interference past that point is a normal 2 minute minor penalty. This would allow the SHL to see lots more goals and more fun. 

There are a few parts to the rule that make it more fair and safe. The goalies head is off limits. You cannot make forceful contact with the head of the keeper. This is subjective to the ref calling the game. If there is head contact, a regular two minute penalty is assessed and the team loses their interference exception. This keeps our goalies safe. The SHL needs to implement this rule immediately as it would also hopefully increase fights.
