Is there momentum in hockey

Answer 1

Yes, there is. Momentum is velocity times mass. So you could, for example, calculate the momentum of the puck from its mass and its velocity. --------------------------------------- The answer above assumes that 'momentum' refers to the definition in physics, the answer below does not. --------------------------------------- since Ice Hockey is such a fast paced game , momentum is usually seen as one team incurs a penalty or two at the same time. this brings about an odd man situation where one team will outnumber the other 5 on 4 or 5 on 3 !! Not many sports have such penalties ! in these cases there is usually a momentum swing . either by the team scoring on this powerplay or the shorthanded team shutting out the opposition during the shorthanded situation ! momentum does exists as goals are scored and the scored on team becomes deflated
