Learn More About The Hockey Player Drawing

Ice hockey is typically played by two teams of six players each. The game is played on an ice rink, but it can also be played on other surfaces.

In street hockey, players typically wear roller blades and play in an outdoor court. Field hockey is played in normal athletic shoes.

Ice hockey, as depicted here, is most popular in Canada, the U.S., Finland, and other cold-weather countries.

No one knows exactly where the word "hockey" came from. One guess is that it is derived from a French word for a shepherd's staff. This staff is crooked at the end, similar to the hockey stick.

Another guess is that it may have been played with cork stoppers from barrels of an ale called "hock" or "hocky."

Did you know? Games similar to hockey - those played by striking a ball with a curved stick - have been around since ancient times.

In fact, carvings that look very similar to modern hockey have been found in Egypt and Greece, dated to 2,000 and 600 B.C., respectively.

Other hockey-like games have been played in Ireland and Mongolia for a thousand years.
