[OT] NHL Scoring Out of Control!

Often this season referees have called coincidental minors -- one for hooking, another for diving. Players would like to see referees either call one penalty (diving) or give the diver an extra two minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. That way, his team is penalized for his actions.[/q]I thought diving already was a specific case of unsportsmanlike conduct.  Resident refs or anyone with a handy link to the rules?

NCAA Ice Hockey 2006 Rules and Interpretations
Page 8[q]Points of Emphasis
The “Points of Emphasis” section calls attention to certain areas of the
game that the NCAA Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey Rules Committee
believes must be improved, not through additional rules but by a stronger
emphasis on existing rules.
This year the rules committee requests that players, officials and coaches concentrate on the following areas:
Overall Rules Enforcement
The committee was pleased overall with the effect of last season’s focus on proper rules enforcement.
It remains the responsibility of coaches, players, officials and administrators to support this initiative. In addition to last year’s focal points, the committee points attention to the following two areas:
• Diving. An unintended result of the rules initiative was an increase in diving. A player shall not attempt to draw a penalty through any exaggerated or deceitful action.
• Strength. A player should not be penalized in a contact situation solely because of their size or strength.
