Single judge Reto Steinmann and his deputy Oliver Krüger both have been re-elcted. They will hold their office for three more years.

Furthermore, the teams have decided that the four-men system that was used last season in the National League A, should also be introduced (gradually over a period of six years) to the National League B.

Additionally, the NLB will test goal cameras in several of their arenas in order to possibly set them up across the league. If the test is successful, they could be introduced in the 2015/16 season.

As for the transfer windows, they will close January 31 for Swiss players and Februrary 12 (NLB) or 15 (NLA) for foreign players.
