Shoot from circle, puck live if a rebound. Players line up behind circles. No crosschecks - none Eliminate standing with puck behind net to reset - defensive team must move puck - can be side to side or backward, but can not stand still waiting for line changes Presentation - more conversations with players when prepping - similar to F1 - not scripted - just have reporter walking around, talking to equipment managers, maybe get a quick chat with a player if they happen to be standing around.
