I know that this would be very difficult to do and there is a good chance that New Zealand wouldn't go for it, but it would probably be the safest. The players would probably not want to either for that matter. In theory, I think it would be cool though.
I know this is a gag post, but our rinks aren't even on par with the minor hockey rinks in Calgary. Queenstown Ice Arena, where I've played 4 seasons of adult rec hockey, is one of the nicest rinks in the whole country but didn't have toilets or showers in the change rooms until 2 years ago. Before that players had to share toilets with spectators, and this included the local semi-pro team as well as IIHF sanctioned international tournaments!
