Number 4 on a break away. He shoots. Goal! The horn go´s off. Hockey has been a sport for a long time. If you want to know a little more about hockey I can tell you.
First of all you need the right equipment. For example knee pads, socks, to go over knee pads, pants, shoulder pads, elbow pads, a jersey, a stick, skates, gloves, and a helmet. If you do not have the equipment you can not play.
The main idea of the game is trying to score the most points in the other teams net. There are a couple positions you can play like right wing, center, left wing, left defence, right defence and the goalie. There a couple penalties like hooking, tripping, checking, roughing, and cross checking. When you have a penalty only 4 people are allowed on the ice on your team.
Some fun facts is that the NHL was formed in 1910, The first indoor hockey game was in 1875, The first Stanley cup was given in the 1892-1893 season, and sticks were not formed until the early 1900s.
That is all about hockey. Hope you liked learning about it.

I did not know that hockey sticks didn't exist at first for hockey! I loved the facts at the end!
ReplyDeleteI really like the introduction you used for your blog post. It made me feel like I was watching an actual hockey match. I used to play roller hockey in my basement (with rollerblades) but I've never tried hockey on ice. I'll have to give it a try! I'll make sure I have the equipment you mentioned :)
ReplyDeleteThis is such an amazing blog! I love hockey and this really tells lots of details!
ReplyDeleteI really liked your intro. It really pulled me in. I didn't know that they didn't have hockey sticks in the beginning. I wonder how they played back then.
