LATEST | Pro League to make change to most hated penalty: NHL about to do the same?
When you ask hockey fans what the most hated penalty in the game is, the resounding answer you'll get is 'puck-over-glass', and they're certainly correct.
There's been a lot of debate over the last several years if the NHL should completely get rid of the penalty, and while it's unlikely that'll happen, could we see a change that will allow teams to challenge a puck-over-glass call?
According to Scouting The Refs, Germany's top division, the DEL, is going to allow puck-over-glass penalties to be reviewed.
Back in March, general managers around the National Hockey League discussed the possibility to make changes to video review including for high sticking and puck-over-glass calls, but decided not to.
According to IcyData, during the 2022-23 regular season, there were 277 puck-over-glass calls that led to minor penalties. That number could have been lower if video reviews were allowed.
