Could VR be helpful for hockey players, specifically defensemen?

Hahaha I just imagined some funny VR hockey meming that would be funny to do in VRchat or something.

You're playing 1v1 with a buddy online stopping shots. First guy to let in 15 goals loses. If you've ever played Destiny 2 gambit matches, you'll be familiar with the idea of sending blockers to inhbit an opponent in an entirely sperate instance of the same map.

How fucking incredible would it be if you could aquire bonuses for consecutive saves? I'm just picturing an intense barrage of NHL level shots coming at you in this arcade-style battle match. Your opponent gets a bonus and sends a "blocker".. all of a sudden Chris Krieder comes flying out of nowhere and fucks your shit up. You regroup and send a stick flailing Sean Avery back at your bud to secure the comeback.
