Trying to explain hockey to aliens is not the easiest thing to do. Already the sport is hard enough to try and explain, then tell them that all of it happens while standing on two sharp knives while moving around on a large sheet of frozen water.

I think the easiest way to try and explain the game would be to give the general premise. Holding a stick, moving a puck (or a small black piece of rubber) and trying to get it passed the opposing team’s goalie. Now, I didn’t get too specific with the rules, because there are way too many and it would take me all day to try and explain it. That being said, they wanted to give it a try and they were surprisingly good when it came to shooting the puck. They were extremely strong and flexible so the puck was flying to the net. There needs a lot more finesse in other areas, but they’re surprisingly solid for never playing.
