How to Play Hockey

As a curious person I found myself wondering what Richard Anderson's hobby was and I found out one of his favorite hobbies is hockey. When I was researching this I also found out that he was probably going to go pro if he didn't break both of his arms.

In this post I will inform you on how to play hockey which like I said before is one of Richard's hobbies.

Before you find out how to play you need to make sure to get this gear
Helmet and Mask – To protect your head!
Mouth Guard – To protect your teeth!
Neck Guard – Defend your neck and throat
Shoulder Pads – To guard your shoulders and chest
Elbow Pads – To keep from hitting your funny bone or getting hurt!
Gloves – Padded gloves to keep your hands warm and isolated from harm!
Hockey Pants – Padded pants to keep from getting hurt when you fall
Jock/Jill – A very important piece of equipment, protects your groin area.
Garter Belt – Used to hold up your socks
Shin Pads – Guards your knees and shins

Types of penalties

High Sticking – When a player’s stick strikes an opposing player above their shoulders
Hitting from behind - When a player hits another player illegally from behind
Holding – When a player illegally holds an opposing player
Hooking – When a player hooks their stick around an opposing player
Interference – When a player illegally contacts a play that does not have possession of the puck. Also called when a player interferes with the opposing goalie

The basic rules of how to play
Generally there are three, twenty-minute periods in a standard hockey game.
If the score is tied at the end of the third, there may be over-time periods or a shootout to decide the winner.  The player who scored is rewarded with a goal, and the players who passed the puck to set up the goal are awarded with assists.
