4-on-4 is finally coming
There are some changes coming (finally) to college hockey overtime, based on a vote by the NCAA Ice Hockey Rules Committee over the weekend.
11 years after the NHL adopted five minutes of 4-on-4 OT, the college game is finally poised to join them in that rule change, with a final vote set for July 20 after coaches are given a window for feedback.
In addition to adopting 4-on-4 OT, the Committee also support conferences' use of an additional 5 minutes of 3-on-3 OT followed by a shootout. The 3-on-3 OT and shootout would be for league points only and would not impact national record or rankings.
