As Ralph Ryan finds himself reincarnated in a new world where hockey doesn't exist, he realizes he can't give up his love for the game. Determined to introduce and grow the sport in this alternate dimension, he begins to explain the game to his friends.
Ralph explains that hockey is a sport played on ice, with two teams of six players each. The players use sticks to maneuver a puck across the ice and score goals in the opponent's net. He explains that the game is fast-paced and physical, and requires a combination of speed, skill, and strategy.
As there are no ice rinks in this world, Ralph improvises by using a flat, hard surface to simulate the ice. He outfits his friends with rollerblades or sneakers and teaches them to skate and play the game. For gear, they use modified versions of lacrosse or field hockey equipment, including sticks, gloves, and helmets.
At first, the game catches on slowly, but as Ralph and his friends continue to play and spread the word, more and more people become interested. Ralph starts teaching the game to local schools and community centers, and before long, the game of hockey becomes a popular pastime in this new world.
