Street Hockey |
"a version of ice hockey played with or
without skates using either a puck or ball without body checking and
with little to no protective equipment as intense physical contact is
not very common" For more detail see
Wikipedia

Background from Wikipedia. including American leagues, nomenclature
Street Hockey USA news,
events, organising a tournament, Team USA, National Championships, where the goalie uses a shield and hammer to guard the goal,
and is also capable of scoring points for his team.
IDTA
International Deck Hockey Tournament Association. "Street Hockey/Dekhockey
is a running game played similar to ice hockey with the exception that
body checking is not allowed. Running, stick handling, passing and
shooting are the basic qualities which provide an exciting and fast
game. Leagues and tournaments are played in official rinks on all
weather playing surface and under the Official Street Hockey/Dekhockey
rules. Play consists of 3 periods with officiating and score keeping."

VikingBall |
VikingBall bears many similarities to
other forms of ball hockey. The main difference is that the goalie
(known as the Viking position), instead of using traditional pads,
blockers, and a stick, uses a shield and a hammer to guard the goal,
and is also capable of scoring points for his team. The sport
derives its name from the shape and size of the shield used to
defend the goal, reminiscent of the traditional shield used by
vikings. The concept of the sport was also inspired in part by
passages in the Norse sagas concerning an especially violent game
played by the Vikings, where teams fought for possession of a ball
using sticks. This sport, often referred to as knattleikr, was
arguably a precursor to what we now call hockey.
To complement the shield, the goalie's hammer is was designed to
serve several functions in gameplay. The hammer is used to guard the
goal, to knock the ball towards allied players, and to hit opposing
players to score points for the Viking's team. Its design was
inspired by representations of Thor's hammer, Mjolnir.
The sport was created in 2006, and its official organization, the
American VikingBall League, is based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
USA.
