considering I really do not know a lot about hockey, me trying to explain it to someone who does not know of the sport would be the equivalent of an alien making up a sport on the spot. I don't really know about how the plays work, or how penalties work aside from yknow don't beat the crap out of each other, it is kind of sad considering I've been on here for 3 years. Anyway, how I would explain hockey to friends in another world would be guys on knife shoes gliding around with sticks that are curved at the bottom to push a short cylinder into a net on posts on either side of an ice rink. this either could make sense or absolutely none dependent on the technological advancements of this new world I would be reincarnated in. actually this is the most barbaric way to describe hockey but could make a crazy new game based on just those points
