ICE
HOCKEY IS PLAYED BY TWO TEAMS OF SIX PLAYERS.On an ice
ring ,with a goal net at each end.the object of this fast
and often dangerous game is to hit a frozen rubber puck
into the opposing team's net ,with a ice hockey stick .
The game begins when the referee drops the puck between the
sticks of two players from opposing teams.who "face off". The ring is divided into three areas;defending,neutral,and attacking zone.Players may move with the puck and pass the puck to one another along the Ice,but may not pass it more than two zones across the across the ring markings.
A goal is scored when the puck entirely crosses the goal line between the posts and under the cross bar of the goal.
A team may field up to 20 players although six players are allowed on the ice at one time ;Substitutions occur frequently.Each game consists of three periods of 20 minutes,divided by breaks of 15 minutes.
