| rdfs:comment | - The sport as it is known today was pioneered by Rock Hockey Hannah, who, according to Red, "practically invented rock hockey." While definitely a Fraggle sport, rock hockey contains elements of several silly creature sports as well: ice hockey, basketball, baseball and American football. Each team consists of five players: two forwards, a quarterback, a first base player and a goalie. Equipment used in the game includes a set of plaid hockey pillows (kept in good playing condition with pillow wax), long-handled nets for the goalie and long-handled paddles for the other players. The standard uniform includes greaseberry leaf skates, helmets and seashell shoulder guards, and the goalie also wears a wicker face mask and long gauntlets.
