Hockey is a sport played between two teams of four players and a goalkeeper on a field surrounded by fences and two goals. Players use skates and sticks to drive a ball similar to football, but on ice. The sport was created in the 19th century by Edward Crowfard in England but became popular in America in the early 20th century. Spain's first hockey team was formed in Cerdanyola Del Valles. There are international championships for hockey including the World Championship, European Championships, Asian Championship, and American Championship. Famous Spanish hockey players include Sergi Panadero, one of the best defenders in the world who plays for Barcelona, and Marc Gual, the best player in Catalonia who
