I feel like the answer already exists within the game. Why don't we simply change some of the current rules to make penalties happen instead. My first idea? Of course it's the offside penalty. You simply get thrown in the box for two minutes in the case that you cause an offside. I think this penalty will succeed greatly at making more powerplays (or making hockey one of the most unfun sports ever to watch and play because everyone fears the stupid offside penalty). I think we can just keep the name. Offside is a clear idea of what rule it is and would make it easy to understand. As for more punishments, I do not think hockey is in need for that and the sheer stupidity of this new rule is enough of a punishment already. I think this penalty gets called a lot in the beginning as players still adapt to it but soon it will just turn into a boring game and the league decides that my idea was pretty stupid and recalls it.
