Thought this was interesting enough to warrant its own thread.

I'm not sure about it to be honest. Ice Hockey is a 5v5 sport. Creating a separate event with a separate gold medal for a novelty mode of hockey seems wrong. On the other hand, it could grow the game and bring in people who wouldn't watch otherwise.

What does the HF hivemind think?

This is becoming the norm in many Olympic sports now. Cutting cost, faster paste and potential higher participation is why shorter versions of sports are being added. This is why I think usopc sole focus on the ncaa is misguided

Lame as hell.

Even the bright-eyed ten year old me would be asking what in the **** are you talking about

The fiba one feels super gimmicky. There’s a million Olympic events so it’s fine but it’s not super exciting unless they are somehow able to get NHLers doing double duty.

Not so believable even if 3v3 idea incurred. I'm against idea.
