Hockey is any of a family of sports in which two teams compete by trying to maneuver a ball or hard round disc into the opponent's net or goal, using a stick. The two main types of hockey are field hockey and ice hockey. Field hockey is played with a small, hard round ball on a field of grass, gravel or artificial turf. Ice hockey is played on ice with a small, 7- to 9-ounce rubber disc called a puck, by players wearing ice skates. Ice hockey is typically played in regions with a colder climate. People who enjoy playing hockey often join hockey clubs where they can play on a team.
