A hockey rink is a rectangular area of ice, typically surrounded by boards or glass, where the sport of ice hockey is played. The rink is divided into zones including the offensive zone, defensive zone, and neutral zone. There are markings on the ice to indicate the faceoff circles, goal crease, blue lines, and red line. The rink also features goals at either end where players attempt to score by shooting a puck into the opposing team's net. Players wear skates to move swiftly across the ice surface while using sticks to control the puck and pass to teammates.
