Haiya.
This has been requested before, but I think it's being made a tad bit over complicated. Now that Damien has released his mod (
https://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=263687.0), we have models to do it with his consent, or new ones could be made (sticks shouldn't be too difficult, right?).
I figured it could work one of several ways.
Method 1: to change the item when a player receives the puck. Have two items, one with a stick w/o a puck and one with. When the player passes or shoots the puck it sets it to the one without the puck, and when a player touches a puck it gives them the stick with the puck.
Method 2: an ammo system, of sorts. Use an ammo system in a way that shows a puck on a player's stick when they have "ammo", then nothing when they shoot it.
Passing could be an on right-click thing in a way similar to how the football item works. In a way I've experimented with, you could use a charging animation for a slapshot in the same way that the spear works, and use normal click for a wrist shot which is slow but more accurate as opposed to a faster but less-accurate slapshot.
If you go with method 1, you'd also be able to add defensive actions, too, such as poke checks with the empty stick.
Animations shouldn't be too much of a worry, just a simple flick for a wrist shot and going slightly back for a slapshot. Generic slippery playertypes could be used for skating, and goalie equipment could just be optional.
As for the projectile, you could base it off how the pong works. A long lifespan, bouncy, and with sounds for different impacts. An example of how this could work:
