Isn’t that just…
Forget it, Jake. It’s Canada.
Exactly!
Yep!
My first thought to.
Replace the puck with a ball, take away the sticks and the ice and goal is to kick the ball into a net guarded by a designated player? I think we might have a name for that sport already. 
Quidditch?
American guy here. ‘Ball Hockey’, by Canadians, makes me feel a little bit afraid.
It reminds me of the euphemistic tern “pocket pool”.
For that matter, pool could probably be called “table hockey” in Canada.
Of course there’s also water polo. Which is more or less the idea of soccer / fútbol or ice hockey but played in a swimming pool. So maybe the Canucks can call their version water hockey.
Earlier versions of water polo included the horses but they objected to having to swim. Also they needed a really big pool.
I suppose the Canadians could also rename their national sport to “ice polo”.
It’s actually “Underwater Hockey”, in which we asked, “Why not water polo, but with even better chances of drowning?”
So is regular polo called Horse Hockey?
You can use seahorses!
But then you’d have to have really, really small players.
I’ve got it! Sea horses, ridden by sea monkeys!
No, no NO! Horse Hockey is just like regular horse polo but the ball is replaced by a solidified horse shit AKA “road apple”.
Training the horses to travel on ice skates is the trickiest part of Horse Hockey.
Two names, in fact. We don’t need a third.
Some research says this dog can ice skate. Sorta.
These folks have a quad-robot that can at least swizzle if not exactly skate:
I’m thinking teaching horses would be far harder than dogs.
Horses play basketball hoop hockey better than ice hockey because traveling is prohibited in the former.
You mean wall curling?
