This is a topic dedicated to establishing and clarifying the rules of South Pacifican ice hockey, hereby enforced by the South Pacifican Hockey League (SPHL).
As a baseline, we will be using the NHL’s rulebook from the 2024-2025 season.
The Commissioner of the SPHL is @Penguin. Assistant Commissioners include @ProfessorHenn.
New Rules
In lieu of helmets, Lampshades are to be used.
Grass skirts must be worn by all players, except the goalkeepers.
Coconuts will be used instead of hockey pucks.
The ice, when possible, must be made of SPIT and not water.
Name: The game I’m using to simulate our hockey experience divides the name into two blocks. Goals are marked by first name last name, assists are first initial last name, jerseys have last names, and player introduction is first name last name. For example, (first name) Professor (last name) Henn would be marked as P. Henn / Henn.
Number: Jersey number.
Team Affiliation: I’m starting with four teams, dessert themed. Visitors is taken from Banana Ball.
Position: There are 6 positions on a hockey team.
Wings: Offensive players that come up the side of the zone and operate there.
Defenders: Tend to stay towards the back of the offensive to handle any breakaways and protect the goalie.
Center: General all-rounder that will sit in front of the opposing goal if the puck is being handled by the wings, to hopefully open up an opportunity to score.
Goalie: Big kahuna in the net.
Left/Right Hand: How you hold the stick.
First Name: Lord
Last Name: Nwahs
Number: 6
Team Affiliation: Ice Cream
Position: Right Wing (apparently because I’m an economist)
Left/Right Hand: Right
we should use SPIT
