I think I'm the only one on Slap at this point that thinks Hockey is a sick name. Also I thought it was Benny's company.
Can someone explain in Fortnite terms?

There's an interview somewhere of Dill talking about why it's called Hockey.

I played hockey from age 4 through high school.  Great times.
Remember when one of the networks had a glowing puck in their tv broadcast for a couple years?  That was weird.

Hahah! I remember that glowing puck too.  I could be mistaken but I think they were doing that so non hockey fans could see the puck a little bit easier, but we all know those fans were only there for the fights.

FoxTrax! mid to late 90s. I was just a little guy and thought it was kinda neat at the time.

Hockey Skateboards started with the focus on two guys, Donovon Piscopo and John Fitzgerald. In the words of Anthony Van Engelen: “If you skate with those dudes, they are so gnarly… it’s kind of brutal, kind of like Hockey.” - AVE.

It could also be ironic, since Hockey is a competitive team sport and I guess Hockey is one of the least X-games/Street league sort of brands.

I remember hearing it was because white people play hockey and the original team was all white kids.  It’s a better name than Frog I think.

Always thought Hockey was a blue collar sport, and I think that name fitted John and Donovon perfectly.

What they are doing is actually ridiculous. I'm a diehard Leafs fan, and making it 8 teams (which would screw us over) makes way more sense.

 The leafs might have to play the blue jackets in the first round and if they win they would still have to lose to the bruins in the 1st round again with the new format. love the leafs i jsut can't cheer for them during playoffs

Because he had to name the company something sick in order to counterbalance how stupid Fucking Awesome sounds. Hockey is a great name. I remember Dill mentioning somewhere it was originally going to be "Hockey Fight", not sure if I'd prefer that to the brevity of the one word name or not.
