Three of the four elements are represented in types of hockey; Air hockey (air), field hockey (earth), ice hockey (water). Fire hockey needs to be a thing.

fire hockey 100% does not need to be a thing

Yes. Yes it does.

Fire hockey already exists.  Welcome to pelota purépecha, or Mayan Fireball hockey.

…this is the most awesome thing I’ve ever seen.

Japan’s Largest Treehouse Was Built Around a 300-year Old Tree

A professional Japanese tree house designer for 15 years Takashi Kobayashi has built over 120 tree houses in Japan and globally. When he was approached by Risonare resort in Atami to construct a tree house for them, he knew the most vital point was to find the ideal tree. Named after the 300-year old camphor tree it was built around, the structure is titled after the tree in Japanese: Kusukusu, 

Completed in March of 2014, Kobayashi  partnered with Hiroshi Nakamura of NAP Architects to use 3D data, engineering and technology to produce the visually stunning and stable construction. 

To protect the tree, the tree house never touches the natural beauty. There is no harm done.
