I want to ice hockey one day but scared I may get hit with the rubber puck lol.
I would love to try it, I've never played either. Where did hockey originate?
I want to say Canada being that it is a winter sport and it is most popular there.
That seems likely. How many players make up a hockey team?
Teams usually consist of six players each but if I play I need one on one lol.
Interesting. How long has hockey existed as an organized sport?
I can't say when it was orginated not that much of an expert but in Russia and Eastern Europe it is the highest league and been around for a while.
Is it more popular than soccer in Russia?
