    This is what ChatGPT tells me:

    A sport that merges elements of ice hockey and soccer could be referred to as “ice soccer” or “snowball,” though this isn’t a widely recognized or established sport. Here’s how it might work:

    ### Concept:
    – **Field/Surface:** The game would take place on an ice rink, combining the slick, fast-paced environment of ice hockey with the gameplay structure of soccer.
    – **Teams:** Like soccer, each team would have 11 players, including a goalkeeper.
    – **Objective:** The main objective would be to score goals by getting a soccer-like ball into the opponent’s net. The ball could be slightly modified for better movement on ice.

    ### Rules:
    – **Movement:** Players would wear ice skates like in hockey, which would require them to combine the skills of skating with ball control, similar to how hockey players handle a puck with a stick.
    – **Equipment:** Instead of hockey sticks, players would use their feet, similar to soccer, to pass, dribble, and shoot the ball.
    – **Contact:** Given the ice surface, contact rules might be more lenient compared to traditional soccer to accommodate the balance and control challenges posed by the ice.

    ### Gameplay:
    – **Tempo:** The game would likely be very fast-paced due to the slick ice surface, with quick transitions between defense and attack.
    – **Scoring:** Goals would be similar to soccer, with each goal worth one point. The nets could be a blend of soccer goals and hockey nets, slightly wider than hockey but not as tall as soccer nets.

    This combination would create a dynamic sport that demands both the agility and precision of ice hockey with the strategic play and teamwork of soccer. While this exact sport might not exist, it combines fascinating aspects of both sports in a challenging and innovative way.

    I think I’m brain washed by some advertisements coz all I have in my mind is like “he is at a hockey game, he is at a soccer game, he is at a combination of a hockey game and a soccer game”

  3. Slide checks just got a whole lot **scarier**

  4. So, is it ‘no goal’ if you *don’t* use a distinct kicking motion?

    I don’t know, but the Sedins would be HoF’ers in it too.

    2 names possible

    pop a ball

    or

    i owe you a ball

  7. Soccer.

    We don’t call it “ice hockey”, so we don’t have to call this sport “ice soccer”.

    From now on we call the other soccer “field soccer”.

    Would the goal be the size of a hockey goal or soccer?

    The 74th inning of Calvinball is often played in skates with a soccer ball.
