One of the easiest ways to explain something that someone knows nothing about or has never seen before would be to compare it to something similar that they're familiar with. That said, the first thing I'd do is find out if this other world has any sort of sports that were comparable in any way to hockey. That would make things much easier. If there isn't, well, we will have to do things the hard way.

People need to get an idea of what a typical hockey rink looks like, the positions of the players, and what those players do. When it comes to demonstration, I'd use a small ball or some other round object, a long stick with something on the end of it (think a broom without bristles), and something to act as a net. If some variation of ice skating exists, it would be easy to explain that this sport is played on ice skates. If not, I would probably leave that out of the demonstration. Then, in a flat open lot with two teams of 4 or 6, including goalies, I would have everyone take their positions and walk through the basics of how to play. Then we would play actual games! Eventually, we would bring this to someone who could help it catch on so everyone could enjoy the game of hockey!
