Hey all,
 
 We´ve got an interview lined up with Risto Remes, creator of SI´s first non-soccer game, Eastside Hockey Manager. If you have any questions for him, feel free to post them below. We´ll try to get them into our interview, which we´ll be doing later this week/early next week.
 
 Thanks,
 Jared

This might seem like a stupid question but... I would ask why they chose to make a hockey game thier first non-soccer game?

That´s a good question....but this is Risto (the maker of the hockey game), not the people with SI that decided to take him on. We hope to get an interview with him later.
 
 (My guess, by the way, is that it´s a title that reminds them of the earliest ChampMan games...really strong statistical engine, lots of good options, "homemade", etc....)
