love ice hockey it is my favorite sport and i would love to share out the game of hockey to you. In ice hockey you first need to know how to skate but then you have to get to the basics of ice hockey, first if you are a righty you have your left hand at the top of the stick and your right hand in the middle with the stick going left to right. If you are a lefty it is the exact oppsite way. Now we cold get into the history about ice hockey. When ice hockey started in Canada the skates were made of bones and sticks were shorter and made from actual sticks or bones. The game of ice hockey was just for fun until 1917 and the NHL was started. NHL stands for National Hockey Association. There started with very little teams playing the game and now 30 teams play to win the Stanley cup. The Stanley cup has been around since 1917 and the canadiens have won 24 times that’s the most.
