Ice hockey is generally played on a large flat area of ice, using a three inch diameter vulcanized rubber disc, the puck. This puck is frozen before high-level games to decrease the amount of bouncing and friction on the ice. The game of ice hockey is played between two teams of skaters. The game is played all over North America, Europe and in many other nations around the world. It is the most popular game in Canada, Finland, Latvia, the Czech Republic, and in Slovakia.

Ice hockey sticks are long L-shaped sticks made of wood, graphite, or composites with a blade at the bottom, which can lie flat on the playing surface when the stick is held upright and can also curve either way to help a left or right handed player gain an advantage. Ice hockey has been being played at a number of levels by all ages.
