Does anyone know if there are any references of what hockey is like in
the 2060s? I looked in Shadowbeat but it only has football, baseball,
and basketball in it. Has anyone made anything up or seen anything on
the web?

As far as I know there are no canon references to Hockey, and
for that fact the vastly underrepresented *C*anada (you know,
the 'C' in UCAS).

My Canadian GM, who has now returned to Hockeyland, ran
an entire campaign around the Stanley Cup of 2057, which of
course was won by the Toronto Maple Leafs, with no small
help on the part of my runner team.

stood out was the Hearth Spirit that kicked the shit out of
us at the stadium in Montreal when we were there. It took the
form of a Hockey Goalie and wailed on me with that damned
stick. Ouch....

I'm pretty sure there's a reference to the Bruins in the Target:UCAS
Boston chapter. Nothing specific, the game probably hasn't changed that
much. Probably similar adaptations as other sports for allowing cyber.
