A large ice rink, traditionally close to the size of a football pitch, with a goal at each end.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Divide into two teams of skaters, each defending one goal on the ice rink.

2

Players use their curved sticks to pass and drive the ball toward the opposing goal while skating.

3

Score a goal by hitting the ball fully across the opposing goal line.

4

Players may not lift the stick above shoulder height or check opponents with excessive force.

5

A referee restarts play after goals, fouls, or when the ball leaves the rink boundary.

6

The team with more goals when time expires wins the match.
