# Hockey Mask

The protective face armor of pre-history *"Hockey"* athletes who required a mask constructed of sturdy material to ensure they maintained ownership of their teeth during these fierce games.

Before the introduction of modern Gigahockey technology like Grav-plating, gyroscopic droid technology and hover skates - ancient Hockey games were played either on fields of frozen liquid or within a large volume whilst players balanced on intimidating foot gear retrofitted with blades or multiple wheels, depending on your style of play.

Rather then the regulation Grav-Orbs used today - Hockey was played using dense rubber *"pucks"* that could be whipped across fields at over 100mph. On impact these "pucks" could brutalize an undefended target. These physical hazards, in combination with the common practice of hand-to-hand combat mid-match, necessitated extensive protective measures for participants. Gigahockey's less hazardous approach eventually took over, turning classic hockey armor into a desirable collectible.
