Any hockey fans that own a Wii better start moving back the furniture now, as Game Trading Technologies (GTTI) and Global Entertainment Software are planning on bringing a new hockey game and hockey stick peripheral bundle to market. While details are scarce (other than the stick will be made of plastic and is suppossed to allow us to shoot and battle like a real stick), I am sure we will be hearing more about this product and peripheral as the year goes on.  The man running GTTI (Todd Hays) was the driving force behind GameShark when it arrived on the market many years ago.
