I'm kinda skeptical this will see the light of day, but as the article mentions it already has TV rights in both Canada and the U.S. so that's something.

This sentence from the article made me laugh though:

The NHL, which is not tied to 3ICE, has a 5-on-5 format, except when players are sent to the penalty box, and a five-minute, 4-on-4 overtime format for each of its televised games.

When you've clearly never heard of the NHL before.

I didn't read the article.....will body contact be allowed per nhll rules? If not, the league should consider allowing women to play in the league.

Is it supposed to be read/spoken as "Thrice"? Or Three-Ice?

Think it's marketed to the hip kid crowd who doesn't use archaic methods of communication such as speech.
