Two leagues

On a day the NHL talked about dots and made Jeremy Jacobs its chairman of the board...

...the Untied-No-More International Hockey League (and its six teams, no mention of the Turner Cup) announced its name change and these rules changes:

--No instigator, except in the last five minutes;
--17-and-two for all games;
--Misconducts instead of game misconducts for secondary altercations;
--No hook-and-dive calls allowed, and if a ref considers both, call the dive;
--Tighter standards in the neutral zone, looser standards in the defensive zone;
--Four-on-four OT followed by a three-man shootout.

  • Ah, the return of the IHL. I guess with six teams, four from Michigan and one from Illinois, the "international" flavor comes from the sixth team based in Indiana. Glad they got rid of the instigator penalty. That will make people forget about the goon hockey of the UHaul, I mean UHL.
