Stoneworks Hockey

Stoneworks Hockey is an organization in Stoneworks that hosts in-game hockey tournaments and leagues since December 2022. It was founded by Juvieus, who discovered and invented the sport in Stoneworks, together with his Wilmund co-citizens FredBurton and wiegeht_s.

From December, 2022 to April, 2023, the community has organized three seasons of their professional and competitive hockey league, with 170 active players, 30 clubs, and a total audience of over 600 members.

After the original founders left Stoneworks in April 2023, a group of merited members around Tia, lega1 and GreenskinGouger was handed over the responsibility and has lead the sport now.

Beginnings
Juvieus, wiegeht_s and FredBurton had already built the boat racing competitions around Formula Eldham when Juvieus first experimented with a way to play a teamsport similar to football on Stoneworks. In April 2022, he discovered the concept of using an empty boat as a puck and knockback enchanted tools as hockey stick. The only challenge was that the only items which could be enchanted with knockback would damage and ultimately break the boat after a few hits. Thereby, the community was unable to obtain proper hockey sticks but still gathered a community of 90 members.

Juvieus was still motivated to host a league and create a competitive teamsport game on Stoneworks and was almost ready to dedicate funds to buy a custom weapon, which would deal 0 damage to boats and still posess knockback enchantments. This changed in November, when wooden custom weapons were announced and Juvieus immediately knew that this was the technology he needed. He immediately crafted wooden weaponry, enchanted it with knockback and experimented. After confirming that his concept worked, he finanlized the basic rules of Stoneworks Hockey. The game is played using knockback enchanted wooden gladiuses on a 39x25 large field of ice, with two goals and rules quite similar to football.

After convincing his old friends wiegeht_s and FredBurton to try out this new game, they finally played and agreed to play as well in a team with him. Juvieus kickstarted a new hockey community, made use of Formula Eldham's popularity to host the Launch Tournament in December 2022, which 16 teams signed up for. During the course of December, the sport gained notable popularity, with new clubs, players, and stadiums built and dozens of matches being played every day between Christmas and New Years Eve.
