Eishockey, or ice hockey, is a fast-paced team sport played on an ice rink. Two teams, each consisting of six players, aim to score goals by hitting a puck into the opposing team's net using hockey sticks. The game is divided into three periods, and the team with the most goals at the end wins. Players wear protective gear, including helmets, pads, and skates, to ensure safety during the game. Eishockey is popular in countries like Canada, Russia, and Sweden, with professional leagues such as the NHL showcasing top talent. The sport emphasizes teamwork, speed, and strategy.
