Hockey is my favourite sport to play

Hockey is a family of stick sports where two opposing teams use hockey sticks to propel a ball or disk into a goal. There are many types of hockey, and the individual sports vary in rules, numbers of players, apparel, and playing surface. Hockey includes both summer and winter variations that may be played on an outdoor field, sheet of ice, or an indoor gymnasium. Some forms of hockey require skates, either inline, roller or ice, while others do not. The various games are usually distnguished by proceding the word hockey with a qualifier, as in field hockey, ice hockey, roller hockey, rink hockey, or floor hockey.

Basic rules of field hockey include:

• Each team consists of 11 players and can have 6 substitutes.
• Faceoffs determine possession after a pause in play.
• Penalties result in players being sent to the penalty box.
• Power plays and penalty kills are important strategies.
• Offside and icing rules apply.
• The objective is to hit the puck into the opponent's goal using a hockey stick.
