You could add a couple of attributes that could affect each other.
One could be constitution. And it’s counterpart could be dick index.
The higher your rating in dick index could affect players with lower constitution to take a penalty or give away the puck. Conversely, someone with a high dick index makes a play on someone with a higher constitution, it would have the same affect on the dick.
Dicks would also take more penalties but be able to swing momentum after an opponent scores.
High constitution would not only lessen penalties taken, but also negate a small percentage of an opponents checking and or toughness.
Lower dick index or constitution would have opposite adverse effects.
Someone with a low constitution would face opponents with a small increase in checking and toughness, and would also be weak towards players with high dick index.
Players with low dick index would see a small percentage loss to their own checking and tougness. But they would take less penalties.
Once your dick index is below 40 you will be known as a punk.
Punks leave the ice whenever someone with a high dick index or high constitution comes on the ice for the opposite team. The punk will also miss their next shift.
Because they are a punk.
