So, I was looking up the UHL, and noticed they are not the IHL...but the real interest is their supposed rules....

The rule changes are as follows:
The instigator penalty has been eliminated except during the final five minutes of a game.
The game lineup has been increased to 17 skaters and 2 goaltenders. In regards to secondary altercations, players will receive a 10-minute misconduct as opposed to a game misconduct.
If a dive and hook occur on the same play, only one penalty is to be called. Diving takes precedence over hooking in that situation.
Officials will have tighter standards in the neutral zone and a looser standard in the attacking zone to promote battles in the corners and in front of the net.
With a tied score at the end of regulation, there will be a 5 minute 4 vs. 4 sudden-death period. If the score remains tied after the overtime period, a three-skater shootout will take place (advancing to sudden-death if needed). There will be no resurfacing of the ice before the shootout.
Now, I dont know how official this is, because the end says there will be no resurfacing of the ice before shootouts, and the ihl-hockey.com website says a "dry-scrape" will happen....
But how about this removing of the instigator? Maybe the AHL & NHL should take a look at it now....
