This document provides an overview of hockey, including the necessary equipment, players, and key aspects of gameplay. It describes the gear needed such as elbow pads, shin pads, shoulder pads, skates, helmets, and hockey sticks. It notes that a team needs 18 players filling defense, midfield, striker, and goalie positions. The goalie's job is to prevent the puck from entering the goal and they wear large pads and gloves for protection. The document also outlines two major elements of gameplay: icing, which occurs when a player slaps the puck down the rink without an intercept, and face offs, which happen after goals or when the puck goes into the stands.

3. Have you
ever seen two
teams skating
on ice with
their sticks,
trying to get
their puck
across the
ice? Well
that's hockey.

4. The Stuff You Need
You need gear to play hockey. One thing you need are elbow
pads to protect you from when you get slammed into the
boards or fall on the hard ice. You also need pads on your
shins and shoulders, you need skates to glide on the ice and
beat people to the other side of the ice. You have to lace
them really tight. The helmet goes on your head, and it
protects you so if the puck went flying into the air it
wouldn't hurt your head. The hockey stick is for shooting
the puck on the ice into the net.

5. Players
You need 18 players to be a team. 2 on defense,
2 on mid, 1 on striker, and 1 goalie. There are 12
left on the bench to switch. the goalies job is to
keep the puck out of the goal. He wears huge
pads, as big as a desk. This is because the puck
comes at him and these pads defend him. He
also wears a big goalie glove. I am the goalie on
my team, and I'm the only one. I like it because
it's fun and I like watching the game.

6. Stuff They Do
There are two big things they do.
Icing happens when a hockey
player slaps the puck down to the
other side of the rink. Then if it
crosses the red line without any
body getting it, then that would be
icing. Face off is after the teams
score a goal or they send the puck
into the stands. Two players face
each other with the puck in
different places on the rink. They
' re Fighting over the puck.

7. We are the champions!
And you are the
losers
