**__Chaos-__****__Hockey!__**


 * Hi, I'm Jessica, and I love hockey. Hockey is really important to me. I've been playing hockey for 5 years. I play on the Single B [|Chaos Hockey Team] in St. Catheriens. I play hockey usally 5 times a week. We usally have 3 pratcices and 2 games. Hockey is a lot of fun, you get to make new friends (your team), you get to go different places (tournments, or regular season), and you have a lot of fun! Anyone who likes hockey knows about the N.H.L. Check it out [|here] **

**__How To Play Hockey__**

**The point of hockey is to get the puck into the net. There are 6 players on the ice at all times, well except for when your changing lines. There are 3 forwards, 2 defence, and 1 goalie and of course coaches but there not on the ice. The forwards try to score goals on the other team's goalie. The defence try to stop the other team's forward from shooting on their goalie. The goalie trys to stop all shots.**

** __Fun Facts About Hockey__ **


 * **The first Hockey puck ever used was a frozen piece of cow poop.**

**diameter** **and one inch thick. It weighs six ounces and is** **constructed** **of vulcanized rubber. The puck is not only solid to remove the “bounce”, but it is** **prior to professional games to make it even more bounce resistant.**
 * **An official game puck measures three inches in**


 * **Twenty players are allowed on each roster (18 players and 2 goaltenders).**


 * **Some slap-shot shooters can propel the puck between 90-100 miles per hour (MPH). Speeds of up to 120 MPH have been recorded by some of the hardest shooters. Compounding the problem for goaltenders is that frequently the puck will curve in flight, much like a baseball.**
