How old do you have to be to play ice hockey?
It is unknown. Hockey has been claimed to be founded in so many different time periods, that it is impossible to know how old it is.
Was a hockey game ever played at the Arco Arena?
Arco Arena is capable of hosting Hockey events, but the seating for such events leave so much wasted space and the time to create and maintain the ice would not be feasible for a permanent hockey tenant.
What is the temperature at a hockey game?
stu the air certainly cooler than regular ice, because ice was contained within the building (an enclosed space) so that the air becomes cooler
What came first hockey or soccer?
That depends on whether you are referring to Ice Hockey or Field Hockey. Soccer originated with the ancient game of Harpastum, played by the Roman Legions, while Ice Hockey was invented in Canada in the 19th Century. Field Hockey, on the other hand is known to have been played in Ancient Greece at the Olympic Games. There is a monument in the museum at Olympia which depicts two players with typical curved field hockey sticks in a face-off position and a ball between them.
Why is hockey called hockey?
The name "hockie" (now Hockey) seems to have been first recorded in Ireland in 1527 and probably comes from the French word "hoquet" meaning "shepherds crook". It's called hockey (Ice or Roller) because it is a variation of Field Hockey (Offical Name Hockey, formally known as Field Hockey). Some also say that in the old days, when hockey was being invented, they had to use the only part of the livestock that they couldn't sell at market, the boney Hock. The Hock is the horse or cow equivelant of our heel. The other more stupid version is that it was going to be called puckie because of the puck. But in one game a hawk flew down and took the puck from the ice because it thought it was a small animal. So they called it "hawk-y" or hockey.
