In 1877, the first known rules for ice hockey were published by the Montreal Gazette.Ice hockey is played with two opposing teams wearing ice skates. These skates have a long blade that extends past the end of the boot and there is no toe pick. This is what makes the hockey skate different from the figure skate.In ice hockey, each team only has six players on the ice rink at a time, unless there is a penalty.The aim of the game is to knock the hockey puck into the opposing team’s net.

Ice hockey is a sport that is played by two teams on ice. The players wear ice skates on their feet and can travel at very high speeds. They hold hockey sticks, which they use to push or pass a puck around the ice. The players score by shooting the puck into a net; the goaltenders try to stop them. Six players on each team play at once, but a whole team has over 20 players. When a player breaks a rule, a referee calls a penalty, and the player has to sit in a penalty box. While the player sits in the penalty box, his team has to play without him, and will have fewer players on the ice until the penalty is over.
