Kolhii

Koli, later known as Kolhii was a popular Matoran sport originally played by Po-Matoran and later played by all Matoran on Mata Nui. Originally made by Turaga Whenua and Onewa to settle arguments between Onu-Matoran and Po-Matoran, Koli was reinvented (and renamed 'Kolhii') later when Hewkii saved Macku from an airborne rock during the Bohrok invasion of Ga-Koro.

Koli Rules

 * 2-4 goals
 * At least 1 Matoran per goal, or "goalie"
 * At least 1 large boulder-like ball
 * The object of the game is to get the balls into the opponent's goal using body parts other than the hands, scoring points
 * The Matoran with the least amount of balls in his goal wins, after a predetermined amount of time.

Kolhii Rules

 * 2-6 players on a team. On the Koro Kolhii teams there are only 2 players on one team.
 * There are 2-4 teams.
 * 1 small hockey-puck shaped ball.
 * A Kolhii stick, a long tool used to pick up and throw the ball, for each player.
 * At least one Matoran has to shoot and block the ball while at least one must protect the goals using a shield.
 * Teams score by shooting a ball into another team's net with a so-called Kolhii stick.
 * Before the game, the players decide on the number of goals to win. The number is usually 3-10, but sometimes the Matoran just play for a few minutes and whichever team has more goals wins.

Players and icons
Hewkii was the reigning champion and best Koli player on Mata Nui. He won many Copper Masks. The icon of Koli was Pohatu, the Toa Mata of Stone. Hahli and Macku eventually won the tournament.

History
Koli was first invented by Turaga Whenua and Onewa to settle disputes between their villagers. It was mainly played by Po-Matoran. During the Battle of Ga-Koro, Hewkii saved Macku from a flying rock, which became the idea behind the reinvention of the sport. The new version was named 'Kolhii' and all Matoran played it. Each village had their own Kolhii team, consisting of two Matoran.

When Takanuva challenged the Makuta in his lair, Makuta challenged Takanuva to a game of Kolhii with balls of light and shadow energy. In the end, Takanuva and Makuta fell into a pool of Energized Protodermis and fused into Takutanuva.

 * Ta-Koro Kohlii Team
