One less player on the playing area
To add or remove a baseball player or basketball player would seem like a huge deal. In football, we see the 11- and 12-man teams with NFL and CFL.
In hockey, they used to have a rover, and reduced eventually the number of skaters from 6 to the current 5 (plus goalie). Iian gives us some fascinating tidbits that before the role was removed altogether, it went through a transition, an abrupt change, from being closer to a 4th forward, to being closer to a 3rd defensemen. Great stuff. If we were to introduce a 6th skater in the NHL, what would happen? And if we were to remove a skater to get us down to 4, what would happen? I love stuff like that, and it seems that even if we think we know what would happen for a few years, things may still shift radically anyway.
