Hockey is a sport in which two teams with sticks hit a small, hard ball or puck into the opposing team’s goal. The team that scores the most goals wins the game. There are several variations of ice hockey, including ice hockey, field hockey, and roller hockey.
Field hockey is typically played on a grass field and the ball is hit with the flat side of the stick, and players wear shoes with small cleats to improve traction on the grass. Field hockey is an Olympic sport and is popular in many countries including India, Pakistan, Australia, the Netherlands and Argentina.
Ice hockey is played on an ice rink, usually indoors. Players use skates and sticks to ride the puck. Ice hockey is a popular sport in Canada and the United States, as well as many other countries around the world.
Roller hockey is similar to ice hockey but is played on a hard surface such as concrete or sports tile using in-line skates. Roller hockey comes in many varieties including roller hockey, which is played indoors and is very popular in Spain and Portugal, and in-line hockey, which is played on in-line wheels and is popular in the United States.
All variants are about scoring goals by hitting the ball or hitting the puck with a stick into the opponent’s goal. The game is governed by a number of rules and penalties can be assessed for various offenses such as offside, interference and dangerous play.
The International Hockey Federation (FIH) currently recognizes more than 130 national teams from around the world.
