'''Ice Hockey''' (as opposed to [[field hockey]] and [[street hockey]]), is a team sport played on an ice rink.  The object of the game is to get a puck into the opposing team's goal (a small net).  The game consists of three periods of twenty minutes each. In case of tie, there is a "sudden death" overtime period or a series of "shootouts".[http://www.wisegeek.com/how-does-overtime-work-in-hockey.htm]  Each team consists of six players; three "forwards," two "defensemen" and a "goalie."

Ice hockey is perhaps the most [[liberal]] sport commonly played in the United States. Of the twenty-four American teams in the National Hockey League, nineteen are located in cities that voted for Barack Hussein Obama in the 2008 presidential election. Six NHL teams play their home games in [[Canada]], a notoriously liberal country. Only five NHL teams are from cities in red states. A large percentage of NHL players come from Canada, and many prominent Democrats attend professional ice hockey games. New Jersey's professional team, the [[New Jersey Devils]], has a name that seems to openly support [[Satanism]].

The sport is popular in [[Canada]], some Northern and Eastern [[Europe|European]] Countries (notably [[Sweden]], the [[Czech Republic]], [[Slovakia]], [[Russia]] and [[Finland]]) and many parts of the [[United States]] (notably the northern midwest and the [[East Coast]] region).

The top professional league in [[North America]] is the [[National Hockey League]] (NHL), and the league championship trophy is called the [[Stanley Cup]]. The Stanley Cup is the oldest professional sports trophy in North America.  The [[Montreal_Canadiens|Montréal Canadiens]] have won the Stanley Cup 23 times, the most of any team in the league.
