There have been several changes and new rules around the mandatory EBUG position. To qualify, a goalie must not have played in an NHL game under a standard player contract, played more than 80 professional games, or played professional hockey in the previous three seasons. EBUGs also will all wear No. 00 and must conform to the equipment-sizing charts that govern their NHL counterparts. That means being measured for the appropriate pant and chest protector sizes and having their pads sent to Kay Whitmore of hockey operations at the NHL offices in Toronto to make sure they're within the sizing limits corresponding to individual leg measurements.

Daniel Dubois underlined his status as Britain's leading heavyweight with a devastating second-round stoppage of Fabio Wardley to retain his WBO title in London. The 29-year-old floored Wardley with a straight right inside the opening 20 seconds of their eagerly anticipated rematch at the O2 Arena and continued his relentless assault. Wardley survived the opening round but was overwhelmed by another sustained attack in the second, prompting his corner to throw in the towel. Dubois registers a second successive stoppage victory over Wardley, just five months after climbing off the canvas twice to dethrone his British rival in a thrilling 11-round contest in Manchester. This time, there was no such drama for the champion, who was dominant from the opening bell as he extended his professional record to 24 wins - 23 by knockout - and three defeats. "Fabio is a great boy, coming in for the second time, but it was my time and my era. I had my intentions, bad intentions from the beginning," Dubois said. "My back was against the wall the first time, this time we just had to go out there and show that we mean business, which is what we did tonight.
