Get rid of the offside rule. It'll make the defending team have to defend space instead of just a line. Should create more rush chances.
I think it would lead to more 4v4 with someone waiting by the goal for a quick shot opportunity more than rushes.
That sounds to me like Phil Kessel plays forever
Plus you won't have to explain what it means to someone who doesn't watch hockey. Actually, get rid of icing too!
Icing the puck is a big advantage to the team with the lead if there's no penalty for it. Maybe only have it be a penalty if you have a lead.
It's also a big advantage to defenders in general, as icing the puck would now allow lines to change, instead of one team getting stuck on the ice for long periods in their own zone.
It'll also make the game strategically like basketball, where you have one person surveying and bringing it in, lightly guarded, while everyone else tried to set up their plays and angles. It'd get even more set-play based and able to be followed by new fans, IMHO
