The rule regarding the goal crease was changed to give the official some latitude when a goal is scored and an attacking player is in the crease.

The committee again focused on overall rules enforcement as a point of emphasis, paying particular attention to diving and the strength and size of players who may be unduly penalized only because they are larger and/or stronger.
