Maple Leafs Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The Maple Leafs are taking an active role in the NHL's crackdown on head shots.

General manager Brian Burke was part of the eight-man GM committee that will be forwarding a proposed rule change on hits to the head with shoulders and elbows.

"I believe we will present a rule change that will help reduce blind-side hits resulting in injury," Burke said from the league meetings in Boca Raton, Fla.

Full details were to be revealed Wednesday when the 30 GMs get a look at the proposal.

The Leafs nearly lost center John Mitchell for an extended period on Saturday when Chris Neil of the Ottawa Senators caught him with a shoulder to the head.

"Hopefully the GMs can start something," Leafs center Wayne Primeau said.
