3 on 3

[saskriders]

At this year's Olympics 3 on 3 basketball will be making its debut. Does anyone else think it would be fun to see 3 on 3 hockey as well? I think that the smaller team size could lead to more countries being competitive. Ideally I'd like to see it at the Winter Olympics and a IIHF sanctioned tournament replace all star weekend in Summer Olympic years (I know it is unlikely, but to me it sounds way more entertaining than the all Star game).

No, it's a different sport. I prefer ice hockey.

I definitely don't have any interest in basketball if that is what you are referring to. But I don't see why two hockeys can't both be enjoyable

Lottery hockey does not have what I love with hockey. Strategy and tactics play second fiddle to luck in 3vs3

I like 3vs3 more then 5vs5. Its more skill-based when there is more room for individual efforts then in 5vs5, Talented, fast and skilled players get more room to show their strengths and lesser skilled players suffer more which in my opinion is just fair, since I have always liked the russian-style more then the NA-style, but im guess im just based in this question since i am a bandy player myself..
