Maybe there could be a plexiglass dome over the entire rink, with all rebounds
from the dome being live and in play. The game would be REALLY 3-dimensional
then.
ADVANTAGES:
Spectators and media personnel would be protected from flying pucks.
Players and officials would be protected from debris thrown by spectators.
DISADVANTAGES:
Danger from overhead rebounds, making helmets even more important.
Goalies' task becomes even more difficult.
Heat and ventilation problems. Phew!
Submitted as a modest proposal for further evaluation...
