Ice Hockey originated in Canada in the 19th century.
The first formal game was played in Kingston, Ontario in 1855.
The game is divided into three twenty minute periods.
Eighteen to twenty players make up each team.
Six players are on the ice at one time.
Substitutions are made (on the fly).
The three basic positions in Hockey are; the goalie, defensemen
and forwards (left wing, right wing and center).
The two most common infractions on the ice are offside's ( a player
is in the attack zone before the puck). Icing is when one team shoots
the puck from their end of the ice all the way to behind the other
teams goal.
Rules of Play – Floor Hockey

The game is started with a faceoff between the
centers taken at the center circle. Faceoffs
restart the game after a goal or at the beginning
of a period. The center cannot score on a face
off unless it first touches an offensive player.

PE class hockey begins with the ball being
placed on the floor between two opposing
players. The players touch the blade of their
sticks to the floor and then against their
opponents stick three times before they can
touch the ball.
