GET READYHockay is gearing up for the first season ever

Terms of Service

Last updated: When The Almighty Ice last resurfaced

1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing Hockay, you acknowledge that The Almighty Ice has appeared, that Hockay is real, and that you accept these Terms of Service as decreed by Le Permanent Council du Hockay and Unexplained Ice Phenomena (hereinafter "Le Council").

If you do not accept these terms, please close this tab and pretend The Almighty Ice never came. (It did.)

2. The Looneys

Looneys are the official currency of Hockay. Looneys have no real-world monetary value. You cannot eat them. You cannot trade them for goods or services outside of Hockay. Le Council is not responsible for any emotional attachment you develop toward your Looney balance.

Looneys may be earned through betting, daily rewards, or unexplained Ice generosity. Le Council reserves the right to adjust Looney distribution at any time, for any reason, including but not limited to: vibes, lunar cycles, and the mood of The Jambono.

3. Betting & Wagering

All bets placed on Hockay games are made using Looneys and are strictly for entertainment purposes. The odds are determined by forces that Le Council does not fully understand. No refunds will be issued for bets lost due to Whiteout conditions, Wish reversals, Encore duplications, or any other arena modifier.

By placing a bet, you accept that the outcome of any Hockay game is subject to The Almighty Ice's will.

4. User Conduct

You agree not to:

5. Arena Modifiers & Unexplained Phenomena

Le Council acknowledges that certain arenas exhibit unusual properties. These include but are not limited to: temporal distortion, stat suppression, mood alteration, competitive lethargy, event duplication, involuntary stat rearrangement, and the presence of 2,347,816 penguins.

Le Council is not liable for any confusion, disorientation, or existential dread caused by arena modifiers. Participants who attend games at The Sandy Parlor are advised that wishes, once granted, cannot be unganted. This is not a typo. That is how wishes work.

6. Privacy

Le Council collects your email address, your username, and your betting history. Le Council does not sell this data. The Almighty Ice, however, sees everything. Le Council cannot speak to what The Almighty Ice does with this information.

Your Looney balance, betting record, and team affiliation may be visible to other participants. If you do not wish to be seen, Le Council suggests not being here. The Almighty Ice would have found you anyway.

7. Intellectual Property

All team names, arena names, player identities, and Ice-related phenomena are the property of Hockay. The Almighty Ice itself belongs to no one. Or perhaps to everyone. Le Council is still debating this.

Fan-created content (art, analysis, lore interpretation, conspiracy theories) belongs to its creators. Le Council appreciates the effort and is watching with interest.

8. Termination

Le Council may suspend or terminate your access to Hockay at any time. You may also leave at any time, though The Almighty Ice will remember you were here.

Accounts terminated by Le Council may appeal through standard channels. Le Council does not currently have standard channels. Le Council is working on it.

9. Modifications

Le Council reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Changes take effect upon The Jambono's next Resurfacing. Continued use of Hockay after a Resurfacing constitutes acceptance of whatever happened.

10. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of The Almighty Ice, which exist outside any national jurisdiction. Disputes shall be settled by a best-of-seven series.
