Hockey consists of 5 skaters on the ice for both team at a time with 2 goalies. the object of the game is score on the opposing teams goal with a puck. There are 3 zones on a hockey rink, each teams zone at opposite ends of the ice and the neutral zone in the middle; you cannot enter the opposing teams zone before the puck does or that is offsides. Penalties are served majority of the time 2 minutes at a time and the team that took the penalty has to play a man down, if the opposing team scores the penalty is nullified. Penalties include such things as tripping, roughing, hooking, interference, slashing, and high sticking.

Mens hockey was first played in the 1920 Summer Olympics and then moved to Winter in 1924. Woman's hockey was first played in 1998. 1998 was also the first year the NHL allowed its players to compete in the games.
