>>Scoring is down because goalie pads and other equipment has gotten way to big. Goalies should only be allowed pads big enough to protect their legs, chest and other "vital" areas. Also, keeping them from playing the puck when it goes behind the goal line around their net will keep the puck in the offensive zones longer. When you add all this up with the other suggestions for enforcing obstruction, no using the stick blade to tug at the opponent, removing the center line, reducing the size of the neutral zone, etc., and scoring will go up.

What I would like to see is how hockey was meant to be played.

The only hockey I know is the NHL version. Even hockey played in the Olympics is quite physical with only difference being the size of the rink. What is hockey in it's purest form?
