I take a deep breath and begin to explain the game to my friends in the new world. I describe it as a fast-paced sport played on ice, with two teams of players trying to score goals by shooting a hard rubber disc, called a puck, into the opponent's net using long, curved sticks. I emphasize the importance of skating, passing, and teamwork in the game, and how players must also use their bodies to check and defend against the other team.

However, my friends ask about ice, and I realize that there isn't any in this new world. Undeterred, I begin to brainstorm and adapt the game to fit this strange, ice-less environment. I suggest using roller skates instead of ice skates, and a flat surface, such as a basketball court or parking lot, instead of ice. For the puck, we'll use a softer, lighter ball that can still be controlled with the hockey sticks.

As for gear, I explain that players wear protective equipment such as helmets, gloves, and pads to stay safe while playing. I suggest using street hockey sticks, which are shorter and lighter than traditional hockey sticks, and can be purchased or made from materials found in their new world.

Initially, some of my friends are skeptical about this new game and its unfamiliar equipment, but my passion for the sport and my enthusiasm for teaching it begin to win them over. They start to practice together and soon discover the joy and excitement of playing hockey, even without ice.

As word spreads, more and more people become interested in playing this new version of hockey, and the sport begins to catch on. I'm thrilled to see the game I loves taking root in this new world, and I continue to work with my friends and other players to refine and improve the game over time.
