	Ice Hockey - MSN Encarta
		Ice Hockey, fast-paced winter sport in which two opposing teams of skaters use long, curved sticks to try to drive a hard rubber disk into each other’s goal.
		Because ice hockey is a game of speed and strength, the coach must also ensure that a slower or smaller line does not play against an opponent’s faster or larger line.
		Organized ice hockey games are divided into three equal segments called periods.

		Hockey can be a great sport to watch and play, but the parochial nature of the sport - combined with the difficulty of seeing he puck cleanly on television - has hampered efforts to expand it's popularity.
		But hockey is a way of life in Canada, and there are many great NHL moments to choose from that are familiar to those from the north.
		Still, the best hockey I've ever seen was the Canada Cup contests between the Soviet Union and Team Canada in the 1980s; unfortunately, these games were marred by the fact that the Canadian all-stars weren't able to practice together and get their games in sync until a few days before the Canada Cup.

		In ice hockey, a player in the opponent's end zone at the junction of the blue line with the boards is said to be at the point.
		Usually the players at the two points are the defensemen, and the name is taken from the former names of the defense positions, point and cover point.
		The point's responsibilities include attempting to keep the puck in the offensive zone when the defensive team attempts to clear, receiving a pass from the forwards to allow the play to reset, and taking slapshots at the goal, hoping to create a rebound or a deflection.
