==History==
==History==
The sport of hockey originated in [[Levantia]], and has a close historical association with that continent. Archaeological evidence, including cave paintings and what appear to be rudimentary hockey sticks buried as {{wp|grave goods}}, indicates that the earliest forms of hockey were played among the various primitive fishing tribes that settled along the continent's northern coast during the Neolithic Era. Various regional variants of the game were played by the [[Levzeish]] peoples, who had presumably assimilated it from the aforementioned fishing tribes as they became absorbed into [[Levzeish]] communities. The first record of hockey in the Latin language is found in the ''Annales Septentrionales'' of  Marcus Aspergillus, who refers to it as ''ludus qui inter Pretannos hoccæus apellatur''.

==Teams==
The Levantian Hockey League (LHL) has 33 teams, 10 from [[Kiravia]], 8 each from [[Burgundie]] and [[Kuhlfros]], four from [[Urcea]], two from [[Kistan]], and one from [[Cronzcovina]] and [[Eagaria]]. With the most teams [[Kiravia]] also has the largest fan base. The industry makes about $14 billion collectively, $5.3 billion in [[Kiravia]] alone. [[Burgundie]] comes in a close second with its 8 teams bringing in $4.5 billion. While not a requisite, many of the nations whose teams participate in the league also have national all-star teams who compete in the Olympics and other international competitions.

===NordHalle Albatrosses===
[[File: Albatroaz Fan.jpg|thumb|Albatroaz style]]
Founded in [[1117]], a team was formed by the monks of the Abbey della Cartouche on the outskirts of [[NordHalle]]. They played seasonally against the mainland teams and those from [[Kirav]]. A number of the seasons had to be canceled due to the crusades or leprosy, but the years that the league did meet the Albatrosses did well. During the [[Great Confessional War]], the team joined the Christensen army as a free company. They were summarily slaughtered at the Battle of TBD. The team was not reinstated until a temporal team was gathered in [[1607]], they were known then as the NordHalle Longshoremen. They won their first cup in [[1615]] after drafting Cuhullin Ui Shaunessy from [[Kiravia]] as their goalkeeper. With Ui Shaunessy as their defensive backbone, they made it to at least the finals for the next 5 years, winning the cup in [[1617]] and [[1619]].
 
After Ui Shaunessy's death of an infected splinter in [[1620]], the team lacked strong cohesion and rarely progressed past the "Burgundie bracket", a name given to the first three games in the tournament for the three teams of the [[Isle of Burgundie]]. The team languished in obscurity for the remainder of the 17th century.
 
In [[1736]], the team was demoted to leaguiam minoriam, moved to [[Mattiusvalle]] and renamed the Saints. There they were able to acquire a number of good players coming out of the parochial systems of [[Burgundie]], [[Ultmar]], and [[Kuhlfros]]. The team picked up victories at 24 of the next 30 minor league cups and was asked to leave the league for the leagueiam majoriam again. In [[1767]], they were formally moved back to [[NordHalle]], this time as the Merchants. They had a smattering of success in the late 18th century but were unable to secure a cup. In [[1809]], they upset the league by advancing and clinching the cup from the [[Béyasar]] TBDs, a decidedly better team by all accounts.

===Hivernille Albatrosses===
The team, like all teams of the [[Isle of Burgundie]] and [[Ultmar]], joined the [[War of Northern Aggression]] on the side of the local magistrate or lord. They joined the Christensen army and served with valor in the battles of TBD, TBD, and TBD. As the war developed all of the teams of [[Burgundie]] and [[Ultmar]] did not compete in the LHL and lost significant talent and training time in the war. As such, on the reentry of the Merchants and the other [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] teams into the LHL in [[1839]], they underperformed for decades. In [[1845]] the Merchants were bought out by the leading interest in the [[Burgundian North Levantine Trading Company]], Emmanuel Vichois-Ermau de Milasse Esq. and rebranded with the company seal, the albatross. They remained the Merchants until the advent of mascots in the 1940s when they adopted the bird as their own. The fans connected with the albatross and put together a fanclub petition to have the name changed. In [[1951]], the team finally adopted its current name, the Albatrosses.

Founded in [[1845]] as the Merchants, the company team of the [[Burgoignesc North Levantine Trading Company]], was formed by Emmanuel Vichois-Ermau de Milasse Esq. as a niche joke by the tropical [[Bergendii]] who were curious about the '''{{wp|Field_hockey#History|carietizein}}''' like sport played on the ice. They remained the Merchants until the advent of mascots in the 1940s when they adopted the albatross, the logo of the [[Burgoignesc North Levantine Trading Company]], as their own. The fans connected with the albatross and put together a fanclub petition to have the name changed. In [[1951]], the team finally adopted its current name, the Albatrosses.
In total, they have won 180 cups in the LHL and 24 in the minor league Burgundian Hockey League. They are the winningest team in both leagues if, as critics debate, you consider the various teams of NordHalle a single lineage. The LHL officials have ruled in favor of single-city lineage and as such the Albatrosses have the title of most wins.

History

The sport of hockey originated in Levantia, and has a close historical association with that continent. Archaeological evidence, including cave paintings and what appear to be rudimentary hockey sticks buried as grave goods, indicates that the earliest forms of hockey were played among the various primitive fishing tribes that settled along the continent's northern coast during the Neolithic Era. Various regional variants of the game were played by the Gaelic peoples, who had presumably assimilated it from the aforementioned fishing tribes as they became absorbed into local communities. The first record of hockey in the Latin language is found in the Annales Septentrionales of Marcus Aspergillus, who refers to it as ludus qui inter Pretannos hoccæus apellatur.

Teams

The Levantine Hockey League (LHL) has 33 teams, 10 from Kiravia, 8 each from Burgundie and Fiannria, four from Urcea, two from Faneria, and one each from Anglei and Hollona and Diorisia. With the most teams Kiravia also has the largest fan base. The industry makes about $14 billion collectively, $5.3 billion in Kiravia alone. Burgundie comes in a close second with its 8 teams bringing in $4.5 billion. While not a requisite, many of the nations whose teams participate in the league also have national all-star teams who compete in the Olympics and other international competitions.

Hivernille Albatrosses

Founded in 1845 as the Merchants, the company team of the Burgoignesc North Levantine Trading Company, was formed by Emmanuel Vichois-Ermau de Milasse Esq. as a niche joke by the tropical Bergendii who were curious about the carietizein like sport played on the ice. They remained the Merchants until the advent of mascots in the 1940s when they adopted the albatross, the logo of the Burgoignesc North Levantine Trading Company, as their own. The fans connected with the albatross and put together a fanclub petition to have the name changed. In 1951, the team finally adopted its current name, the Albatrosses.

Albatross Fandom

Fans of the team are called Albatroaz and are notable for their violence and hooliganism. Female fans are also known for their promiscuous behavior and flamboyant style. The team is particularly popular with the working class of Hivernille, and to a certain extent is a symbol of resistance amongst the working class of other Burgoignesc cities. The logo is pervasive across the athletic wear of working-class Burgundie, regardless of which team the individual supports. It is not uncommon for poorer hockey fans to have a set of Albatross gear as well as their local team.
