Hockey

Hockey is a team sport in which players use sticks to hit a puck or ball into the opposing team's goal to score points. The game is typically played on ice (ice hockey) or on a field (field hockey). Ice hockey is characterized by fast-paced action, with players skating on ice and often engaging in physical contact, while field hockey is played on grass or artificial turf, where players run and dribble the ball. Both forms of hockey have specific rules, equipment, and objectives, aiming to outscore the opponent. The term "hockey" can also refer to the general culture and community surrounding the sport, including its players, teams, and fans.
