A funny bit of wordplay by deejay Shabba Ranks that depends on the overlapping pronunciations of 'ackee' (the food) and 'hockey' (the game). This pronunciation overlap is made stronger (and funnier) with the additional context that some Jamaicans have a tendency to add an intrusive 'h' at the start of words beginning with vowels and some Jamaicans have a tendency to drop the leading 'h' in words.
