The idea of new attributes is interesting yet very unfamiliar for a lot of SHL users who for the longest time, have been using the STHS system, well for 50+ seasons now.
A stat I would like to see if an intimidation attribute as well as compete level.
An intimidation factor would be interesting because I think it would determine how often a player is checked vs not checked, also would determine fighting for some players, which can be moral boosters or turning points in a game. How many times have we seen where a team is down by 1-3 goals, a fight occurs or scrum and suddenly the momentum of the game just turns. Would be cool to have some sort of ice tilt from large hits, fights or scrums.
Compete, this term gets thrown around loosing but essentially determines will. The will to go into the corners, throw a body or even back check a potential 2 on 1. This attribute would be interesting because we’d see hard competitive players vs lazy ones.
