2006–07 National League A season


The 2006–07 NLA season was the 69th regular season of the Nationalliga A, the main professional ice hockey league in Switzerland.

New Rules

There are a few changes of rules for the new season.

3-Point System

For the first time an NLA season is run with a 3-point system. A team gets now 3 points for a win after 60 minutes, instead of 2.

Overtime

A tied game after 60 minutes results in an overtime of 5 minutes, which is played 4 vs. 4. But now, if a team scores a goal it gets two points while the other team also gets a point.

Penalty Shootout

If the game still remains tied after the overtime, there will be a penalty shootout with 3 shots per team. The winner team will get two points and the other team one point.
