Option #1

Easy peasy. Three teams, two pucks and a triangular ice surface. 

Eighteen players line up, three sets of two wingers surround three centers, behind them in a large circle are six defenders evenly spread out. The ref drops two pucks stacked on top of each other and tries to get out of there as fast as they possibly can. 

After that? Pure mayhem.

If you want to increase viewership you've got to give the people what they want. Entertainment! And of course, if you've got two pucks that's just another opportunity to introduce the ol' puck trail from the 90's. If it didn't work the first time, just try it again, but twice!

Could you imagine a double breakaway on the same goalie? Or better yet, simultaneous breakaways on different goalies. Powerplays would be insane. Shorties would skyrocket. I literally can't see a single downside to this proposal. Go ahead, try to think of one. I'll wait.

Didn't think so. 

So when we can start three team sims?
