Floor Barrington’s P.E. Curriculum Hockey

Professional Ice Hockey 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.
