one of the three things that i adore about the country Canada is the sport of hockey. Hockey is Canada's national winter sport. It is played all over the world but the sport was born in Canada. In the international games Canada always dominates and competes well. On march 3, 1875, the first organized indoor game was played at Montreal's Victoria skating rink. Also hockey comes from the french word hoquet which means Shepard's crook, and the birth place of this wonderful sport is Windsor, Nova Scotia. Finally there are some very simple rules to the game of hockey. Hockey is a team sport played on ice. It includes two teams that are playing against each other and trying to score in their oppenents net. The length of each game is split up into three periods of twenty minutes. the rules are to be followed always and if not then appriot quansequenses will be made. the rules are five players only on at a time for each team and one goalie in the net.
