Ice hockey is a fast-paced team sport played on an ice rink, where players use sticks to shoot a rubber puck into the opposing team's goal to score points. The game is characterized by high-speed skating, physical contact, and strategic gameplay. It is popular in regions with cold climates, particularly in North America, Europe, and Russia. Each team typically consists of six players: a goaltender, two defensemen, and three forwards. Matches are divided into three periods, and the team with the most goals at the end of regulation time wins.
