A hockey rink is a rectangular area where the game of ice hockey is played. It is typically 200 feet long and 85 feet wide, surrounded by walls called the boards. The rink is divided into three zones: the defensive zone, the neutral zone, and the offensive zone, each playing a crucial role in the game's strategy. The surface of a hockey rink is made of ice, which is maintained at a specific temperature to ensure it remains solid and smooth. Each rink features markings such as the center red line, blue lines, and face-off circles, which help regulate gameplay and positioning during matches.
