RDO camp/changes

ETOBICOKE, Ont. -- The lure of getting a firsthand look at potential rule changes is enticing, but the practical enhancements that were tested at the 2011 NHL Research, Development and Orientation Camp are the ones that will likely have an immediate and direct impact on the game today.

Technological advancements such as thinner mesh for the nets, mounting an HD camera inside the goals and painting a verification line three inches behind the goal line would all enhance how Hockey Operations conducts its goal reviews without affecting the on-ice product, NHL Senior V.P. of Hockey Operations and Player Safety Brendan Shanahan said.

Shanahan also said using the curved-glass system to replace the padded turnbuckle on the stanchions near the player benches is now thought of as an obvious and likely change because it is designed to protect the players.

These are changes that will likely be used in preseason games and could even be implemented for the start of the 2011-12 season.
