Ice Hockey is a fast-paced, physical sport played on an ice rink between two teams of six players, including the goalie.

As part of the Winter Sports family, ice hockey is played in cold-weather climates or indoor ice rinks during the winter months, and is also a popular sport in countries with long, cold winters. The National Hockey League (NHL) is the premier professional ice hockey league in North America, featuring teams from both the United States and Canada.
