Always looking forward to this. You do a great job with it. It's comprehensive to the point I have no real suggestions and also end up agreeing with several I hadn't thought of.

Perhaps number one for me though is the implementation of subtle contact animations/revamping the animation system in close proximity with other players.

We need jostling and jockeying.

And maybe a contextual approach to protect puck where, if you use protect puck when not skating or gliding it acts more like the protect ball in FIFA where your player just positions his body between the ball and defender. It should be balanced with some of those small defensive interactions where a defender can lean on you and go to work knocking you off the puck.
