Hockey is a good example of many simple phenomena in physics: a puck sliding across ice or, manifested in Field Hockey, a ball across turf (friction and momentum). Hockey can be played in variants, on ice, on hard surface (floor hockey) and turf (field), as demonstrated by the puck/ball being hit (friction, force, acceleration, rotational torque, impulse), players being hit (also momentum, tensile stress, thermodynamics), the ball falling along a parabolic path (projectile motion), etc. The surface the game is played on lies the beauty of physics: ice requires a Zamboni machine (kinematics and low temperature physics).
