Humiliation for Divers

Let's be honest. Diving is a problem that is growing rapidly in the NHL. While it's not at the same level as soccer and basketball, it still exists, and many players will flop to get a call from the ref. It's something that needs to be fixed.

 Of course, it's on the refs to be able to identify whether the player took a dive or not, but when the ref calls a player for diving, the call should be known as diving, and none of this "unsportsmanlike conduct" nonsense. 

Just imagine, on TV when they show the penalized player and what he got called for if it actually said "diving" instead of "unsportsmanlike."  And imagine the PA announcer saying something like "Boston penalty to Brad Marchand, two minutes for diving." It sounds a lot better and a player hearing his name being called for diving in front of 15,000+ people would certainly be embarrassed, especially if he was on the road against a rival team, who would really give it to him.

It won't end diving in hockey forever, but it's a good way to start.
