But I have cone to the conclusion that it can never be, as it would end the careers of all the female goalies that are currently playing....unless each team had to play a female goalie, then that would ensure goals and make it more exciting.

But then the male goalies are out a job...


Unless every team has to play a large gloved male at centre forward, then it just cant go ahead.

It's more complicated than the number though... the team distribution would also come into it - although I suppose you could argue that that would just add an extra element to the tactics.

I dunno. I can see the theory of how it could work, much like a mixed relay race works. I get the feeling it would look like a very different game though.
