Ice Hockey: A Brief History

Ice hockey originated in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, with rules established in 1789. The sport was first played in 1893.

The Rink and Equipment

The playing surface is an ice rink, specifically designed for hockey. It's rectangular, measuring 61 meters long by 30 meters wide. A red line divides the rink in half, with two goal lines at each end, four meters from the end of the rink. The goal is located in front of each goal line.

Basic Rules of Ice Hockey

• The game is divided into three 20-minute periods.
• If the score is tied after three periods, a 10-minute overtime is played. If no goals are scored, the game ends in a draw.
• Defending often involves checking.
• A player entering the offensive zone before the puck is offside.
