Ice hockey

Ice hockey is played on a hockey rink. Each team has 6 players on the ice including the goaltender. The five players with out the goaltender are divided into 3 forwards and 2 defencemen. The objective is to shoot the puck in the net behind the goaltender. The line changes can occur during injury time, but also during the game. For most of the penalties, the player is sent to the penalty bench and his team has to play with one player less. Most minor penalties last for 2 minutes, unless a major penalty of five minutes duration, or a double minor penalty of 2 consecutive penalties of 2 minutes duration each. The team that has taken the penalty myst play shorthanded while the other team is on the power play.
