Hockey is a rough sport. It sounds easy but it is not. You try to get this little black puck into a 4 foot net to score. But there is more to hockey than that, you check people into the boards, you have to use different moves, you have to use different types of shots to score goals.
There is a lot of science in hockey. Especaly the reaction time you have goaltenders have just about a half of a second time to react to a puck that is comming at them. Also in hockey you have to use a shot called the slapshot. A slapshot is a high powered shot that comes off the hocjey stick at really quick speed.
Also a technique used in hockey is checking someone. A check is where you hit someone against the boards really really hard. It is a technique used to send a message to the other team or to use it as stragey and move the puck down ice and let your team score.
Probaly the collest thing in hockey is the sootout. A shootout is where the game has gone past overtime and somebody has to win. This is when it is just between a golie and the player and a little black puck. A great shootout just happened this Saturday between Russia and the USA. T.J Ochie scored in a thrilling shootout and one of the greatiest Olympic Games ever. This is some gool things about hockey.
