Ice Hockey anyone?

Hey all!
The other day I was given a pair of skates ao I was just wondering if there are places in SL where people play hockey? any league? any tournament? would someone beintereted at all in something like that?
I do alot of computer art work so I'd be willing to come up with logos for all the teams etc etc etc.
So just let me know if theres something like that in SL.
Thanks!

Odd you should say that, a group of us is working on creating it right now. We're working on scripting up the sticks so it's not a complete mess trying to actually keep the puck...

Oh, wow, great, if you need another tester let me know I'd be willing to help and everything, to be honest with you I've been on SL fo a few months now but only checked out the forum today
so the thought about hockey entered my mind as soon as I saw the SL Games section on here.
Thank you for replying and yes IM me about the thing anytime.

If you can find about ten to fifteen like-minded people feel free to make a team. I photoshop up personalised shirts for each player, team-personalised rink ends, set up equipment etc.

If we were able to get some teams together, I'd love to take part

Me too, I'd love that also I'd love to be a goalie that way I wouldnt have to move to much and the mask'd protect my pretty face from incoming pucks as well

It will be very strict-ruled, one of the off-pitch refs will have 'view invisible prims' on for instance, only official products can be used for the games.


And it'll be attempted realism too, things like helmets will be used on most avs (furries are an exception, as are any other avs which ae 'biological' extensions, and since attached prims are phantom it can't cause problems. Ever tried putting a helmet on with these ears???)


We're currently trying using the sticks as a 'gun' style thing which only fire if the puck 'owned' by the player.

Heehee, you must be working with Exxon? Yesh, I'm so in on that. I've been pestering him to finish an Avalanche getup for me since I saw him playing with the puck ;3

Who the hell is Exxon?

I LOVE hockey! I want to play as well, this sounds like tons of fun! I already have skates too, and I'm an ice fox so I should feel right at home on the ice, lol!

Hey so hows the hockey thing coming together guys?

I'd like to play Let me know when this becomes available

If you post about when your gonna start it up, i would love to take part in it.

As would I. I'd love to see more RL sports translated into SL, but I have not the scripting skills to do much myself. I think I might go ahead and start a group for doing just that, though.

This is too cool! I'd love to be on a team! Count me in.

How is the hockey thing coming together so far?

I'd enjoy playing, or as another possibility I could cover the event as a reporter and submit an article to the Herald to help promote the league and try to create a hockey community for both fans and players.

Just curious, it is going to be pond hockey, or is the playing surface going to be enclosed? Pond hockey would promote more of a community recreational league, while an arena would gave an air of authenticity and professionalism.

I'm new to Second Life, but not to broadcasting. If this sounds like a good idea give me a shout in game.

I'm interested in playing some hockey, as well. Please let me know how to get involved.

Count me in too. Can't wait to get bodychecked by Mystik and Coventina!
Now if we could just stream the Stanley Cup games into SL ..........

P.S. the Canucks tanked - as usual

I looooooooooooooooooooooooove hockey! Let me know when teams are forming. Would love to play.

I'm a huge hockey fan and a decent scripter and builder. Let me know if I can help out!
