Ice hockey is a team sport played on an ice rink. Two teams compete to propel a puck into the opposing goal using sticks. Each team fields six players: a goalie, two defensemen, and three forwards. The game consists of three periods of 20 minutes of net playing time, and the team with the most goals at the end of regulation time wins. Players wear specialized protective equipment to minimize the risk of injury, as it is a fast-paced, physically demanding, contact sport.
This sport requires not only excellent physical condition but also advanced skating skills, precise puck handling, and a strong capacity for teamwork. Ice hockey is extremely popular in many countries and has been part of the Olympic Games since 1920.
In Russia, the history of modern hockey began in 1946 with the first USSR Championship. Since then, the country has established itself as a world power in the sport, with professional leagues, youth teams, and a passionate fan base that keeps it alive generation after generation.
