Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice, in which skaters use sticks to hit a puck into the opposing team’s goal to score points. The game is typically played between two teams of six players each, consisting of three forwards, two defensemen, and one goaltender. Players wear skates and protective gear such as helmets, pads, and gloves to ensure safety during the fast-paced game, which includes physical contact. The objective is to outscore the opponent within a set duration, generally divided into three periods. Ice hockey is known for its speed, skill, and teamwork, and is particularly popular in countries like Canada, the United States, Russia, Sweden, and Finland. Professional leagues, such as the National Hockey League (NHL), showcase the sport at a high level, while international competitions feature national teams competing for titles like the World Championship and the Olympic Games.
