The NCAA Ice Hockey Rules Committee today proposed several changes during its annual meeting intended to allow student-athletes to use their speed and skill to create scoring opportunities. To aid in the implementation of these new rules, the committee approved a two-referee, two-linesman system - which was added as an approved system in 2006 - as the only officiating system for all levels of college hockey. The proposal postpones implementation for Division III institutions until the 2009-10 season. All rules proposals must be approved by the Playing Rules Oversight Panel, which meets July 2 via conference call.
