There are a few different kinds of hockey(曲棍球),including ice hockey and field hockey. One of the biggest differences between the sports is the surface(表面)on which they are played. Some suggest that field hockey has been around for thousands of years. There is evidence(证据)to support that a similar game was played by ancient people in Greece and Rome.
Ice hockey has been around,officially,since the late 1800s. This is when the rules were made by J.A. Creighton. The first league(联赛)was in place by the early 1900s. Later,ice hockey became an Olympic sport.
Ice hockey is a team sport with six players on two opposing teams. The game is played on a rink(冰场)of ice with two goals(球门)at each end. The standard rink size is 200 feet long and 85 feet wide. Players,all wearing ice skates,move a disc(圆盘)called a puck around the ice. Their purpose is to shoot the puck into the other team's goal. The goal is a net that is six feet wide and four feet tall. Each goal is guarded by a goalie,who is the only one that can touch the puck with his hockey stick as well as any part of his body. Goalies can even use their feet to stop the puck from getting into the net.
A hockey stick is what players use to move the puck. It is usually 5 to 6 feet long with a flat blade(叶片)at the end. Hockey sticks are straight sticks made of wood. The puck is made of vulcanized(硫化的)rubber,which is a much better material than the first pucks. It's said that the first informal(非正式的)hockey games were played with pucks made of frozen cow waste(排泄物)! The modern puck is typically one inch thick and three inches in diameter(直径).
▲ Instead,the names of the winning hockey team's players,coaches,and managers are added to the presentation cup. There are five rings of names. The oldest ring is removed when a new one is added.
Today,ice hockey is the most popular team sport played on the ice all over the world.
