Best Answer

Twig or branch are common nicknames for a players stick.

If you mean "parts" you have (from end to end):

Butt end, grip, shaft, heal and toe. Often players wrap tape on the grip area and between the heal and the toe. This gives better control of the puck in passing and shooting.

Thus you might hear a "tape to tape" pass indicating a solid pass from one stick to another. Twig or branch are common nicknames for a players stick.

The name of that action varies. When you are doing that action with the intent of giving it to a teammate, it is passing.

When you plan to score a goal and direct it at the opponent's net it is called a shot.

If you plan to just do the action to get rid of the puck and put it into the opponent's defensive end then it s referred to as a dump.

In Ice Hockey a long wooden stick with a slick wooden blade curved at the edge is known as an Ice Hockey Stick. The Disc as you mentioned is called a Puck which is shaped like a disc and is made of vulcanized rubber and is kept frozen before games to keep the shape intact. The NHL who administers this game sets that the Goalies curve of the stick be a bit longer since it has to save the puck hit from the opponent team, Ice Hockey is considered to be the fastest game in World Sports today.

Why is a hockey puck called a puck?

According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word "puck" is derived from the Scottish Gaelic "puc" or the Irish "poc" which mean to poke, punch or deliver a blow.These words were used in the game of hurling. Scottish and Irish settlers to Canada played hurling and probably used these terms in connection with the game. According to some accounts, early hockey was essentially "hurling on ice", so the name was probably used for the object, "the puck" as used in early hockey. The OED gives the earliest written use of the word in 1891, in Canada, by which time hockey was well-established. An old Canadian word for informal hockey is "shinny" which comes from Scottish "shinty", the Scottish form of hurling.

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.


How did hockey get its name?

It stands fo national hockey league because the U.S. and Canada both have teams in it coast to coast (excepting the territories in Canada because not many people live there and its too cold) so it is a national league.
