'''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".[]  Each team consists of six players; three "forwards," two "defensemen" and a "goalie."
