I have to admit that the Strat-O-Matic hockey game system left me cold -- and not in a good, hockey rink sort of way. I didn't think I'd have another opportunity to explore historical hockey gaming, but now that the boys and I are chugging through a playoff series on our Xbox with a fake team populated by current family members and long-dead Sutton ancestors, I'm wondering if I might be able to scratch my historical itch using the Xbox instead. Creating an entire league of old-timey teams seems like more effort than I want to expend, but I could certainly create one team of pre-NHL stars (Cyclone Taylor, Hobey Baker, and the like) and pit them against the players of today. I'll have to think more about that -- but in the meantime, the boys and I have a Cup to win!
