I think something that hasn't gotten a lot of attention in this thread is one possible explanation of the significance of the repeated footage. The year for which the game is not shown is '99 which is also Wayne Gretzky's hockey number. To quote the Wikipedia page on him, "The NHL retired his jersey number 99 league-wide, making him the only player to receive this honour". Does this point to a hockey game? I think it might. This game could be played by allowing teams to interact with, but not possess the pucks making the game a lot more like actual hockey than a shooting game.
