How does the Simulation Hockey League limit injuries? There's a few different ways to think about how this all happens here. The first is the most obvious one, all the players on the ice are super mutant teenage hockey players from the planet Orr. They've all made their way here to show the humans how to really play hockey, and the best part is they can't get hurt. At all. Because they're just holograms playing on the ice. But the most realistic holograms you've ever seen. Now that the obvious one is out of the way, let's think about it another way. Drugs, and lots of them. There are so many mind altering and body enhancing drugs out there that the SHL just turns a blind eye to. ANd you know what we get to avoid? the problems that the NHL has, no LTIR players who magically get hurt in january and all of a sudden are "healthy" when the playoffs start. Let's just leave it at those two.
