Unicycle Hockey Question

how old is unicycle hockey?

as i mentioned in another thread, we just found a venue to play uni-hockey and (in my never ending quest for free publicity for anything unicycle-related) i’m busy preparing a press-release
i want to give a brief history of uni hockey
i’m literally looking for two sentences

“Unicycle hockey has been played since 19** when the first recorded game took place in *****between ***and ***. National leagues exist in Europe and international competitions are played at the annual Unicon international unicycling meets.”

if that is factually incorrect, please tell me

There is a german page about unicycle hockey

The page about the history of unicycle hockey starts in 1925 with a
short film about two artists playing something like unicycle hockey
in a circus show.

There is also an english FAQ mentioning the history:

There was a group of guys in Kansas that played since the early 1960s. I’m sure there are isolated pockets of this in various places.

A more interesting history would be to see who has continuously been organizing unicycle hockey the longest. Probably in Germany or England, but who, and when did they start?
