Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice, typically in an ice rink, where two teams of skaters use sticks to control and shoot a puck into the opponent’s goal to score points. Each team usually consists of six players: three forwards, two defensemen, and one goaltender. Players skate on ice and engage in physical contact, which is a significant aspect of the game. The sport is known for its speed, agility, and strategic play, as teams work to maintain possession of the puck and create scoring opportunities while defending against their opponents. Ice hockey is popular in countries such as Canada, the United States, Russia, Sweden, and Finland, and it features organized leagues, including the National Hockey League (NHL), international competitions, and national championships. The game adheres to specific rules regarding player conduct, scoring, and penalties, contributing to its dynamic nature.
