Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice, typically in an indoor rink, where two teams compete to score goals by hitting a puck into the opposing team’s net using sticks. Each team consists of skaters, including forwards and defensemen, as well as a goaltender who guards the net. The game is known for its fast pace, physicality, and skill, requiring players to skate, stickhandle, and shoot effectively while also engaging in body checks to gain control of the puck. Ice hockey is played at various levels, from amateur leagues to professional leagues, and is particularly popular in countries like Canada, the United States, Russia, and several European nations. It’s governed by a set of rules that include penalties for fouls, offsides, and other infractions, and is played in three timed periods. The objective is to outscore the opponent, and the sport is noted for its passionate fan base and competitive tournaments, including the Stanley Cup in the NHL and international competitions like the IIHF World Championship and the Olympic Games.
