One of the most popular sports in northern countries is the game of ice hockey.
Each winter, this sport is played by hundreds of thousands of children and adults in North America and in Europe.
Ice hockey is a fast and exciting game that can make winter much more enjoyable.
The game of ice hockey is played on a flat surface of ice called a rink.
The rink is about 60 metres long, and about 25 or 30 metres wide.
At any time, each team has six players on the ice.
On their feet the players wear skates, whose thin metal blades allow fast movement along the ice surface.
Learning to skate requires time and practice, but many people can skate very quickly and smoothly.
In many ways, ice hockey is similar to soccer.
However, unlike soccer, there is no large ball used in hockey.
Instead, the players use a hard, black, rubber disk, which is called a puck.
The players skate around the ice, trying to get the puck.
They do not use their hands or their feet to control the puck.
Instead, they carry long wooden sticks, which are shaped in such a way that it is easy to push the puck along the ice.
The players can pass the puck to each other by sliding it across the ice.
To score a goal, a hockey player must shoot the puck into the net of the opposing team, but this is a difficult task.
The net is less than two metres wide, and it is protected by a player called the goaltender.
However, some players can shoot the puck very suddenly and with great power.
Sometimes, the sport of ice hockey can be quite rough.
Players try to take the puck from their opponents by bumping into them at a high speed.
This is called a “body check.”
Players are not allowed to hit each other with their sticks.
If a player does this, then that player may be given a penalty by the referee, who enforces the rules of the game.
Naturally, the sport of ice hockey is most popular in countries that have cold winters.
The sport was first played in Canada, but it is also very popular in many countries of Europe, including Russia, Sweden, Finland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and Germany.
In addition, many people play hockey in the United States.
In previous generations, ice hockey was considered a sport for men and boys only.
However, in recent years, women and girls have been playing hockey much more frequently than in the past.
Not only do many girls enjoy playing hockey for fun, but now women’s hockey is officially a sport at the winter Olympics.
在北方国家，最受欢迎的运动之一是冰球比赛。每年冬天，北美和欧洲有成千上万的儿童和成年人参加这项运动。冰球是一项快速而令人兴奋的运动，可以使冬天更加愉快。冰球比赛是在一个平坦的冰面上进行的，这个冰面被称为冰场。冰场大约长60米，宽约25或30米。在任何时候，每支球队都有六名球员在冰上。球员们脚上穿着溜冰鞋，其薄金属刀片可以让他们在冰面上快速移动。学习滑冰需要时间和练习，但许多人可以非常快速和平稳地滑冰。在许多方面，冰球类似于足球。然而，与足球不同的是，冰球不使用大型球。相反，球员们使用一种坚硬的黑色橡胶盘，它被称为冰球。球员们在冰上滑行，试图拿到冰球。他们不使用手或脚来控制冰球。相反，他们拿着长长的木棍，这些木棍的形状使得沿着冰面推动冰球很容易。球员们可以通过在冰面上滑动冰球来互相传球。为了得分，冰球运动员必须将冰球射入对方球队的球网，但这是一项艰巨的任务。球网的宽度不到两米，并由一名被称为守门员的球员保护。然而，有些球员可以非常突然地以巨大的力量射出冰球。有时，冰球运动可能会非常粗暴。球员们试图通过高速撞击对手来从他们那里夺取冰球。这被称为“身体冲撞”。球员们不允许用球棍互相击打。如果一名球员这样做，那么这名球员可能会受到裁判的处罚，裁判会执行比赛规则。当然，冰球运动在寒冷的冬季国家最受欢迎。这项运动最初是在加拿大进行的，但在包括俄罗斯、瑞典、芬兰、斯洛伐克、捷克共和国和德国在内的许多欧洲国家也很受欢迎。此外，许多人在美国打冰球。在过去的几代人中，冰球被认为是仅供男性和男孩参加的运动。然而，近年来，女性和女孩比过去更频繁地打冰球。许多女孩不仅喜欢为了好玩而打冰球，而且现在女子冰球已正式成为冬季奥运会的一项运动。
