4. Don't cover ears in hockey reduced ambiant sound so one couldn't hear their teammate calling for a puck for instance.

Good points...and no they don't sound rude...if an idea is an ugly baby it is better to hear it early...but to clarify a few things
1-You can measure impact pretty easily with accelerometers...case in point airbags...
and Virginia Tech is already doing this
2-Yep it sure can...the only difference here (and this is kinda egg-head stuff) is that you could track the positions of all players inside a computer system and then mine the data for interesting patterns (hey oil companies/financial companies mine data for interesting patterns all the time)
3-Honestly...I dunno
4-No loss of ambient noise would be tolerated, it would just be the same as a teammate shouting to you.
