Perhaps it was the two rule changes that Northey brought in to the game that helped to develop the game that we know today. He pushed for the elimination of the “Rover”, giving the game only six men on the ice. He also pushed for the adoption of three twenty minute periods as opposed to two thirty minute halves. Can you imagine the game today had this not taken place? A Rover of the Year Award? Nope…don’t want it.
Should William Northey be in the Hall of Fame?
