What is "hockey"?

Hockey is a fast-paced sport played on an ice rink where two teams, using hockey sticks, hit a puck to score goals into the opponents' net. Each team has six players on the ice at a time, one being the goalie who protects the net. Players wear skates and feel secure with their protective gear since the game is characterized by speed and physical contact. The game is divided into three periods, and the team with the most goals at the end, wins. It is a sport that requires great skill, teamwork, and reflexes.
