Playing against robots makes it a completely different game and I don’t think a human among aliens makes much of a difference. I think the alien capabilities against robots and their ability to take more punishment with their strength will surely make them better at playing against them.

That being said, putting myself behind the bench to coach them is probably the best case scenario and gives us the best chance to win the game. They have the tools, but they just don’t know the game that well. With me behind the bench taking all the knowledge I’ve gained from many years of playing hockey should mean a relatively easy win. I know they’re robots, but these aliens can shoot, and they can shoot hard. If the robots get in the way, I’m sure there’s going to be some damage done to their circuit boards.

The only other fear is if I impart too much knowledge to these aliens then it could be bad news for my human peers and if we ever get challenged to a game against them. But we’ll deal with that if the time comes.
