There is only one reliable, safe, and effective way to make any sport more extreme: Giving every player performance enhancing drugs. It is a well know fact that PEDs are good for you and they make you good at sports. They also make you big and strong. Once every player is big and strong, we remove all rules. We also should change the scoring so that points are awarded based on hits, fight wins, and- oops nevermind I just turned the SHL into MMA. Jokes aside, PEDs would make every player better at the sport and physically tougher, making physical play more likely. In this scenario, it only makes sense to give every player loads of drugs. In fact, this would make SHL hockey much more fun to watch so we should just do it even if the networks don't ask us to make our sport more physical.
