What's changed:

• Players now face the center of the rink when spawning in Face Off phase
• Each player independently updates their ping value in the scoreboard

• Goalies can now kick out their leg pads with Q and E
• Refactored the way collision impact sounds are generated
• Double tapping either A or D while mid air will spin the player 180 degrees
• Players now have adjustable traction which will break during collisions (this will help with players sticking together after collisions)
