NEW – all hockey on penalties, the face off goes down into offending team zone       There are 5exceptions: (1) when a penalty is assessed after a goal the face-off will take place at centre ice, (2) when a penalty is assessed at the end (or before the start) of a period the face-off will take place at centre ice, (3) when a gathering is taking place following a stoppage of play leading to a penalty and one or both defenceman, point players or any player coming from the player or penalty bench of the attacking team, enter deeply into the attacking zone (the top of the circle being the limit), the ensuing face-off will take place in the neutral zone at one of the face-off dots outside the offending team’s defending zone, (4) when the non-offending team clears the puck and icing is called the ensuing face-off will take place at one of the face-off spots outside the zone of the team that iced the puck and (5) when a stoppage of play results due to the non-offending being guilty of premature substitution of the goaltender the ensuing face-off shall take place at centre ice. The exception would be in cases where the offending team would gain a territorial advantage by having the face-off take place at centre, in which case the face-off shall take place where the stoppage of play occurred as per Hockey Canada Rule 10.2 (g).      
Tripping     The new rule says a double minor or match penalty would be assessed for slew foot at discretion of referee based on the degree of violence of the impact with the ice. It used to be an automatic match penalty.
