League operation
Rearrangement of the divisions
After the Atlanta Thrashers moved from Atlanta in the US state of Georgia to Winnipeg, Canada and the resulting renaming of the team in Winnipeg Jets , the National Hockey League presented a plan on December 5, 2011, with the approval of the NHL Board of Governors, according to which the existing divisions are to be dissolved and four new divisions are to be created. The newly created Western Conference would thus contain two divisions with eight teams each and the new Eastern Conference two divisions with seven teams each.
According to the plan, the four best teams in each division would have qualified for the play-offs . In addition, each team would have played a home and away game against each team from the other division during the main round; as well as five or six games against teams from their own division. The as yet unnamed divisions would have looked as follows after the decision:
On January 6, 2012, the plan was rejected by the National Hockey League Players' Association (NHLPA), maintaining the existing format for the 2012/13 season.
During the 2012/13 season, the league and the players' union agreed on a new structure that will be implemented starting this season. Accordingly, the Winnipeg Jets will be transferred to the Central Division of the Western Conference; the Detroit Red Wings and the Columbus Blue Jackets play in the Eastern Conference instead of in the Western. Both Conferences now have two divisions: The Eastern Conference consists of the Atlantic Division and the new Metropolitan Division ; the Western Conference made up of the Central Division and the Pacific Division . A new play-off format will also be introduced, according to which the three best teams from each division will qualify for the play-offs. In addition, there are two “wild card” teams in each conference, so that there are 16 play-off participants as before. As a result of the realignment, the Eastern Conference now consists of 16 teams and the Western Conference of 14 teams. On March 14th, the new format was officially approved by the NHL Board of Governors.
The new divisions look like this:
Rule changes
- All players who have played fewer than 25 NHL games are now required to wear a half-visor on their helmet.
- Players who remove their helmets prior to a fist fight will receive an additional two-minute time penalty.
- Players who wear their jerseys in their pants will receive a two-minute time penalty after an initial warning (NHL rule 9.5).
- Modification of the icing rule: From now on the so-called “hybrid icing” applies, according to which the official can stop the game before the player of the defending team touches the puck. Hybrid icing replaces touch icing .
- In addition, changes were made to the width and depth of the goal as well as to the dimensions of the goalie equipment.
