I'm not aware of any hockey teams in your immediate vicinity. The
closest I can think of is probably Stockton.

Joe Rowing rebuilt my wheel with a very nice looking lacing pattern
some years ago. Unfortunately, it was extremely hard to maintain that
way, and actually has no spokes at all now (I'm riding a different
wheel now, and haven't re-rebuilt the old one). Joe Marshall rode from
Nottingham to Scarborough to get to last year's British Unicycle
Convention, but he's in New Zealand at the moment (apparently writing
his PhD by doing lots of muni), which is a bit too far, even for him.
However, Sam Wakeling managed to beat that record by riding most of
the way from Aberystwyth to Billingham for this year's BUC, but got
stopped by the police for riding without lights (he'd left them behind
at his overnight stop to save weight).
