Was the game better with wooden sticks?

[PistolPete]

Wooden sticks
Smaller goalie gear
Reduced bench (9F + 6D) leading to longer shifts (hopefully), and thus to intra-shift management of energy and tempo
Smaller player gear

All rules that should be implemented for the good of the game

Shouldn't you got 9 F and 5 D, otherwise you have the D and the F averaging the same Mins per game.

You could. Or add 1F as extra. 10F total.

All these options would benefit the game, and the quality.

Players Association will fight tooth and nail against it.
