knee hockey 

A game played by children, as well as teens, where all players hold a small hockey stick that is the appropriate length to use when on one's knees. It is ideally played full contact, but leaving one's knees is a violation of the rules. It is an Americanized version of the Canadian game {{mini-sticks}}, and is commonly played in basements across the Midwest, New England, the Mid-Atlantic and throughout the United States.

At out of town youth hockey tournaments, players often bring small nets and sticks so they can play knee hockey in the hotel hallways.
