It is known as a hurley, or in the Irish language a camán. It starts narrow at the top and the broadens towards the end with a large surface at its end. See the image at the link below.

A stick tackle is a slang term for an illegal hockey move. The hockey stick is used to trip another player and will draw a penalty.
The rounded side. If it has 2 flat sides you can use both sides. *When holding the stick with the hook facing away from the body, the side on the left (the "flat" side) is the playing surface. The side on the right is the back of the stick and cannot be used to play the ball at any time. This holds even if the stick is flat. However the edges can be used to a certain extent.
The flat side of a hockey stick is used primarily for controlling the puck and making accurate passes and shots. This flat surface allows players to better grip the puck, facilitating precise stickhandling and enabling effective puck control. Additionally, when shooting, the flat side helps generate lift and spin, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of the shot.

In the past, hockey was often referred to as "hockey on ice" to distinguish it from field hockey. The sport's origins can be traced back to various stick-and-ball games played in Europe, particularly in England, where it evolved in the 18th and 19th centuries. The term "hockey" itself is believed to derive from the French word "hoquet," meaning "shepherd's crook," which describes the shape of the stick used in the game.
