Hockey in minecraft? How ridiculously amazing is that? That's what @habsjosh and I figured so we created ECC's first ever player-run hockey league.

After weeks of testing, building, and planning, we've come up with a system that will work perfectly. Teams of two will simply push a horse into respective nets. There is a degree of difficulty in this as games will be played on ice and the arenas are rather large, so teams will win by scoring three goals first. There is currently only one arena available, being in my town of La_Ciudad, and we hope to have several more players register their towns soon.

How The Game Works​

• As stated, lineups will consist of two players, teams may have up to ten players on their roster, players cannot play for multiple teams. Owners may play for any of the teams they register.
• Teams may play only one player per game if no other players are present. Games may be played 1v1, however if no players from a team are present, the team will have to forfeit
• Playing arenas must be made of ice (exception: wool or stained clay may be used on the surface to indicate lines and zones) and be approximately 47x23 blocks. An example can be found here: http://i.imgur.com/1LRTD0F.png
• Teams must supply their own horse, which may have a unique name. Teams are responsible for their horse.
• The home team is responsible for supplying horses at games. If the home team fails to supply a horse, they will be forced to forfeit.
• Players cannot saddle or lead a horse (Duh).
• Players cannot mount horses during games as it will cause the horse to stop its motion and not be affected by outside pushing. Only the referee may mount a horse to stop play.
• Games will be considered complete when a team scores three goals on their respective goal
• There are no face-offs after goals, only at the beginning of play. After a goal is scored, the defense then gets possession. The horse is not considered to be in play after a goal until it crosses into the neutral zone (the blue lines).
• Goals are scored by pushing the official horse/donkey into goals. Goals will be redstone wired with lamps that will light when a horse has entered the goal.
• Teams must have different uniforms made of colored leather tunics and pants. Home teams will wear primary colored tunics and secondary colored pants, visiting teams will wear white tunics and primary colored pants. There are no alternate uniforms and no "throwback" uniforms.
• Teams may have uniform helmets and boots, as long as they are either the team's primary or secondary colors, if they so choose.
• Substitutions can be made in-game if a player has to leave. The substitute must be a registered member on the team's roster and have the proper uniforms ready. No teams may have more than two players on the ice at a time.
• Teams will be created based on their town (not nation). A team's home ice must be in the town specified.
• Presidents+ may register teams for as many towns as they own. Mayors may only register one team.
• Any rank can play
• If enough teams register, two divisions will be made (Rising Division & Legacy Division). These divisions are not pertinent on where a team resides as teams from Legacy may play in the Rising Division and vice versa.
• Each team will play each other at least once during the scheduled regular season. Playoffs will be held to crown a champion after the regular season ends.

Want to Play?​

If you want to play all you have to do is either register a team (mayors+) or ask your mayor to register your town. At least 6 teams will need to be registered in order to play.

Team Register Application

Rank:
Town Name:
World Name (Rising or Legacy):

Team Secondary Color:
Team Roster (must be between 4-6 players):
Do you have a location to host games?:
Can you supply your own horse?:

Do you already have a team registered and if so which team?:

Want to be an Official?​

It's pretty obvious that I won't be able to run this myself, so I've decided to allow other users to become official ECHL referees. I will hire between 3-6 users to become officials to simply monitor games, report scores, and record and post games via YouTube or Vimeo if they can. Officials can be players or owners but cannot officiate their team's games. Officials will be payed a negotiated price per game officiated, contingent on them reporting scores and summaries of each game to me.

Official Application

Are you currently owning/playing for another team and if so, which team?:

Towns do not yet need a rink as I can host games until enough arenas are built however itd be greatly appreciated if teams had their own home ice to use. Applications will stay open for a couple weeks likely, just to allow more teams to register and teams to build their rosters.

I will also begin accepting applications later tonight when I get home from work.

 

@0TheRedHerring0 @Emau @ldw116 accepted as officials contingent upon the league and schedules being finalized

@chargers2417 team accepted, will add to official list soon
@Emau team accepted contingent upon creating a valid roster

 

Teams have not yet been completely finalized so feel free to change anything you wish. As for the time limit, we feel like it would be much more difficult to use and enforce. We could make games 2 point wins meaning a team would have to win by two to create more dramatic games.
