Title: How To Play Hockey

Hockey is a sport played around the world, where teams would compete
in hockey competitions.
Hockey is usually played on the ice or on fields which looked like
a soccer field and an ice hockey was combined.

Hockey is an energetic sport played by two teams of eleven players each.
They use a hockey stick made of wood, which looks like a candy cane,
but one side has a flat surface halfway. They use a puck ( ball ) to strike
( ball ) to either one direction of the net, that looks like a soccer net,
but stronger. 

The most important rule is the empire wouldn’t accept if the
puck touched your body. And if you use the wrong side of the
stick you would be penalised.

Skills and drills:

Before you start the drills you must get into a comfortable position while
receiving and  passing. Bend your legs, and keep your back straight.

The basic skills and drills needed for hockey games is called dribbling,
you must have the ability to control the ball while running.
By dribbling the ball with two different directions using the flat hockey
space. 

Tap tap stop is also known as a tapping drill, you will have to use your
flat side of the stick to tap the ball, once you tap the ball you must stop
it from going away from you. 

Eventually, when you master these skills, the receiving and passing part
would get quite difficult. When passing, you must swing your stick against
the floor, once again bend your legs. However, the receiving part gets a
little tricky, bend your legs and angle your stick down, so it wouldn’t
create a ramp before it flies away, and use the bottom part of the
hockey stick, so it wouldn’t fit through the space left out.

These are the rules, skills and drills on how to play hockey, unfortunately
, hockey can be a bizarre game, when a stick is included, so remember
to be careful of your surroundings and obviously have fun.
