In the 2024/2025 season of the KHL Championship Fonbet, according to the results of an analysis and survey of clubs, according to the League's development strategy aimed at increasing entertainment and attacking play, changes in the rules will be introduced.
One of the main tasks of the Kontinental Hockey League is to increase the entertainment and dynamics of the game, including by adjusting the rules. They are aimed at stimulating offensive intensive hockey, at combating passive actions of players and at reducing the total duration of matches by reducing pauses and stops in the game.
Starting from the 2024/2025 season, goalkeepers will be able to throw the puck out of the glove forward in the direction of the opponent's goal. Previously, for such an action, the goalkeeper received a small fine according to rule 67.3. This change will reduce the number of pauses and speed up the transition of teams to attack.
