Hard-hitting and fast-action decribe ice hockey, where two opposing team use curved hockey sticks to hit the puck into their opponent's goal. A game consists of 3 periods and the team with the most goals at the end of those periods wins. At the start of the game, one player from each team goes to the center of the rink for a face-off to gain control of the puck. Once the puck is in play, skaters can reach speeds of up to 50 km/h when chasing after it. A lot of protective gears are worn by the players because of the roughness during the game. Players slam into each other, trip each other and even get into fights, which often earns them a seat in the penalty box. Teams dream of winning the renowned Stanley Cup, which is the championship trophy of the National Hockey League in Canada and the United States.

Speed skating and ice hockey attract large audiences as many people hunger for speed. If you'are among them, watch these sports as speed skaters set new speed records and ice hockey players skim over the ice in the quest for control of the puck.
