The first suggestion of a hockey game was in reference to sticks being in the "long" box, but I can't imagine fitting sticks in a 3" wide box.

Either way, 5030's mechanism is really cool and I would love to see different variants. I want to know how spin could effect the trajectory.
Personally, I never heard of the "hockey sticks in the long box" part, but if it was mentioned, it's probably not right. Nonetheless, there's not much stopping it from really being a hockey game, even if it's a wild guess based on nothing other than a vague hint ...
