No, but it was once a ball. Ice hockey started by using the ball from field hockey (naturally), but it was too bouncy, so they cut it into a disc.

Fairbanks, Alaska! I used to live there. Hockey was HUGE, as was skiing, skijoring, ice skating, snow shoe softball (my personal favorite), and the like.

If you are familiar with Ice Hockey, it will help you understand some of the rules, like offside and delay of game. Although, this game dosen't have a sin bin or goalies covered in padding. I would look on wikipedia or go to your local library and have a look about. You will definatley fall in love with this beautiful game.

Olympic Wrestling is not in square shape....Why WWF is a wrestling ring square? Because it is the Entertainment not pure sport. The ring is stand for stage for the acter. But Wrestler should have very good skill in many sport. It harder than ordinary sport and very danger.

Yes.  I play hockey and the funny thing is, we don't care if you like our sport.  Yes, there are "black ppl" in hockey.  There aren't that many because not many want to play.  When "black ppl" show up to play, they're welcomed with open arms, unlike other sports (golf, baseball, etc).  When you talk about how we "smack a black plastic thing with a stick", first of all, it's vulcanized rubber, moron.  Secondly, any sport can be reduced to that type of description.\n\nFootball: "they just run around with a leather oval"\nBaseball:  "they just try to hit a ball with a stick"\nBasketball:"they just try to put a ball in a hoop"\n\nNothing personal, but hey, you bashed my sport.

It hasn't always been hexagons.  The balls used to be made from curved four sided panels.  Using hexagons ensures that the ball is more spherical.

A square is a quadrilateral (4-sided polygon) with sides of equal length, all joined at 90-degree (also called "right") angles to each other.\n\nSince the square has area, it is definitely the area within the lines that constitutes the square, not the lines themselves.

It is foul play to hit the ball with the reverse side of the hockey stick. The reason it being classified as foul ***could be*** possibly that the curve on the reverse side of the hockey stick could set off the ball in direction not intended by the striker and confuse the striker and remaining players as well on the field.

There are so many changes I don't know where to start. Well, players didn't wear padding. Goalie shin pads were first adapted from cricket shin pads. Skates were nothing more than blades you strapped onto your shoes and sticks were cut from tree branches. Ice rinks didn't have boards and the fans would stand right at the edge of the ice and often were hit by pucks and knocked over by players. Teams used to have nine players on the ice, which is now down to six. No one wore helmets (including goalies who first started wear face masks around 1960). I'm sure you can find many books on the history of hockey, not to mention websites on the topic.

The goaltender can handle the puck anywhere between the goal line and center ice, but is limited to the trapezoid when handling the puck behind the net.  This rule was put in place to limit goalies such as Brodeur and Turco from stopping the puck in the corner and clearing it out of the zone, to increase the amount of time the puck was handled inside the zone.
