Hockey is a team sport played on ice or a field, where two teams use sticks to hit a puck or ball into the opposing team’s goal to score points. In ice hockey, players skate on ice and the game is fast-paced, featuring physical contact and skilled maneuvers. Field hockey is played on grass or artificial turf, and involves a ball rather than a puck. Both versions of the game require teamwork, strategy, and athleticism. Hockey is popular worldwide, with professional leagues, national teams, and international competitions, including the Olympics.
