Of all the competitive sports in the world, I find hockey to be more demanding. It's quite fascinating and fun but also a bit difficult to play. Before you play the sport, you must have the guts and the skill to do skating on ice. Also you cannot possibly play hockey on the ground, you must have the rink (synthetic ice) for you to slide and glide and to control the puck.
Imagine yourself brawling and battling across the field with fifteen other players desperate to place the puck inside the goal. If you haven't given it much thought, injuries are not unusual in every hockey game. Colliding and banging with other players is common in the game.
The game requires professionalism and discipline. One must observe the rules and play the game with advanced skills to win. One must be trained to play hockey and there are recommended trainers who have a website which offers online training. Extreme speed, leg and arm coordination are essential for the game to progress and to be considered highly competitive.
Hockey is kind of a mixed sport. As you can observe, it's not that different from football and golf except that it is played on ice. Ice skating may also be involved, but players use the skill to move across the rink rather than do acrobats and somersaults.
