Ice hockey, also known as ice hockey, is a collective competitive sport with ice hockey sticks and skates as the main tools to fight on the ice.
Ice hockey originated in Canada and was created by W·F· Robertson, a British student studying in Canada. He came into contact with this sport when he was studying in England, and because of his excellent skating skills, he began to try to play hockey on ice, and then combined with the characteristics of lacrosse, he created a brand-new sport in 1783, which is modern ice hockey.
Ice hockey competitions are divided into leagues, championships, friendly matches and exhibition matches, among which the championships are divided into world championships and European ice hockey championships, and the competitions are divided into three groups: A, B and C, which are held once a year. In addition, there is the World Women's Ice Hockey Championship held every two years.
