Good grief!

Actually, I think this "sword" came early in the evolution of the game of hockey. It's what they used before they invented hockey sticks. They had to switch to sticks because they were losing too many players to the noble sport of Spanish Sword Hockey.

The Basques also preserved a version of Spanish Sword Hockey, except they called it Jai-alai......



Best,
