It depends on what you compare it to. Other games played on a field with a net and goaltender, such as lacross, typically have higher scores than hockey, while hockey tends to typically have higher scores than football (soccer). The NHL has been averaging between 5.5 and 6 goals per game in the past few years. Comparatively, there were only 2.3 goals per match at South Africa 2010, which is played over 90 minutes, compared to only 60 minutes in hockey.

How do you hold a ice hockey stick?

if you have a left stick your left hand goes low ( not to low ) on the stick and your right hand on the top of the hockey stick, for a right stick it's the opposite of holding a left stick, to tell if you are a lefty or a righty with a hockey stick try this both ways with a right and a left stick to see what is more comfortable for you.

On March 3rd, 1920, the Canadiens beat the Quebec Bulldogs, 16-3 and still stands as the record for most goals in one game by a single team.

What was the highest score ice hockey international?

I seem to remember New Zealand getting beat by over 50 goals at a very low championship level back in the early 90's. However, the highest score I can actually confirm at this time occurred on Feb.12, 1949, at the World Championships when Canada defeated Denmark 49-0.
