Hockey is a physical sport but people often overlook the mental side of things. Ever since Kirby worked towards being an SHLer and declared for it, he has always been proud of his smarts and knowing where to be on the ice. Hockey is a tremendously physical sport, but people often forget the mental side of the game, and that is where Kirby would get the enhancement if he goes through with this procedure.

He would have a chip implemented in his brain which would give him the ability to see up to 30 seconds into the future. It may not be much, but in a game as fast as hockey, this could be a difference maker. This would allow Kirby to be wherever the opponents are going to be, or allow him to get open and help his team with chances. Imagine the frustration of opponents feeling like wherever they think, Kirby is there (or not, depending which side of the ice we're on).
