I do like the idea of using croquet mallets, but this would be more like
"Unicycle Polo." Where did you get enough mallets to play a full game?
>From a croquet set, oddly enough. An ordinary set has six or eight
mallets, which was plenty for an average unicycle club meeting.
Did you use a regular street hockey ball for that? Did you use the side
of the mallet? If so, did the mallets tend to crack when you struck the ball
hard?
I don't remember what the ball was. *I* used any part of the mallet
that happened to make contact, but the better players used the face of
the mallet preferentially. Nobody broke a mallet (that I remember),
perhaps because we never hit the ball hard.
One last question... Did you get to keep the kneecaps you took off?
I've only got two, and I think they're the ones I started with :-).
