Ice hockey is usually played on a large flat area covered by ice. The hockey sticks for playing this game are L-shaped. It is a game of contest between two skaters’ teams. It is very popular in Czech Republic, Latvia, Slovakia, Canada and Finland. It is played with a vulcanized rubber commonly known as puck which measures 3 inches of 76.2 mm in diameter.
The puck is placed in a freezer before high level ice hockey games so as to decrease the bouncing effect and friction with the ice while playing. The game is governed by the International Ice Hockey Federation which lays down the rules of playing the game and other regulations
