Shootouts suck.

I get the concept that a shoot-out might be needed to prevent play-off games for going on for eternity. Especially in a doubleheader format. A regular season tie is not the end of the world.
I always thought the hand shake at the end of an NHL play-off series was cool. I was not aware that it was an NCAA rule for every single hockey game. I have no issue with that rule going away. Is it really a sign of good sportsmanship if it is mandated by a rule?

I'm 68. In my youth (the 60s) there was no such thing as an organized post game handshake. It was more spontaneous and, in a lot of cases, more sincere.
I'm not sure what event or events caused "community spread" from the NHL playoffs to high school and college sporting events; but some time in the 70s it started.

In all the youth teams I coach in various sports, the kids shake hands after every game. A small thing but I think important. You have one kid every once in a while who refuses (definitely not accepted on my teams) or otherwise does something stupid in the line but it’s good for the most part. |

I'm sure they'll replace it temporarily with something respectful. It even carries over in a lot of sports to the officials being part of it. |

It did make me laugh when one of my teams played in a tournament in late February when all of this was starting to break. They played multiple games over a few hours with kids sweating and breathing all over each other and scrambling for loose balls and then a few kids from the last team we played didn’t want to shake hands because their parents told them not to so they wouldn’t get Covid. A little too late at that point. |
