That ruins the game, IMO. Hockey is vastly different from football, much
more speedy and dynamic, and really, communication wouldn't have much
point, as far as I can tell.. Just to notify people about line changes and
stuff, but thats what "HEY GRETZKY! GET YOUR ANCIENT ASS TO THE BENCH!" is
for :)

I think you're mocking me, here :)
Page 64 of Shadowbeat says that Pro Wrestling was a casulty of the times,
and died out after the guerilla wars during the great ghost dance.
I was thinking of doing a pre-dominantly close combat/wrestling martial
arts style with the rules in TSS-02, though.
Not a flagrant plug..I didn't include the URL :)
