### Hockey
|
|
|
|
This is a simulation of a ice hockey game. The computer, in this case, moderates and referees the pay between two human opponents. Of course, one person could play both sides.
|
|
|
|
The program asks for team names, player names, and even the name of the referee. Four types of shot are permitted and a shot may be aimed at one of four areas. You are also asked about passing. The game is very comprehensive with lots of action, face offs, blocks, passes, 4 on 2 situations, and so on. Unfortunately there are no penalties.

#### Known Bugs
|
|
|
|
- An apparent missing line 430 causes the code to fall through from the "FLIPS A WRISTSHOT" case directly to the "BACKHANDS ONE" case.
|
|
- The author consistently misspells the verb "lets" (writing it like the contraction "let's"), while having no trouble with "leads", "gets", "hits", etc.
