Hockey in the Blackhelm Confederacy

Hockey in the Blackhelm Confederacy is a small but growing sport, with its popularity spurred on primarily thanks to Aswickan cultural exchange programs. At present, there are indoor hockey rinks in most major cities, and several thousand Confederate citizens actively play the sport.

Aswickan exchange

As part of an ongoing exchange program, the government of Aswick routinely sends secondhand hockey rinks and equipment to the Blackhelm Confederacy, forming the bulk of the rinks and equipment used by Confederate leagues. Often this involves a government subsidy to replace still good installations with new equipment, although beyond that there is no government involvement and it is purely a charitable initiative.
