WRITTEN OPTION 1

To increase the number of power plays across the league, GM's Son of the Simulation Hockey League's Montreal Patriotes has proposed a very fun (for him) rule and penalty associated with it. Every player must be able to chug a full beer in under 5 seconds to start off each period. If they fail to do so, they are given a minor penalty, and this stacks for multiple players, so a team could be two men down for up to the first 10 minutes of a period. Additionally, if a player fails to do this multiple times during a game, the penalty increases. The second time they fail to do so, it is a double minor penalty. The third time is a double minor penalty plus a game misconduct, meaning a team could theoretically be down 2 men for the entirety of the third period and have a short bench. The team could also, hypothetically, be forced to forfeit because they had too many players ejected.
