In ice hockey, in addition to having a certain equipment support at the same time, you also need to have skilled technology as a support, the technology is good to be invincible, so it is very important to practice basic skills. Today, I will take you to know about the interesting facts and watching guides of ice hockey.
Is ice hockey a ball?
In fact, the shape of the ice hockey ball is a flat cylinder! Ice balls are generally made of hard rubber, 2 or 54 cm thick, 7 or 62 cm in diameter, and weigh 156-170 g.
Small ice hockey balls, under the action of the bat, travel at a speed of 120 to 160 kilometers per hour on the ice hockey rink. The anti-hockey sport is very confrontational, and the athlete can use the shoulders, chest and hips to collide with the opposing team member, so the player often has a physical collision.
Ice hockey, is it reasonable to fight?
Maybe you haven't seen a hockey game yet, but you must have heard that fighting in hockey is "reasonable." In fact, compared to the acquiescence of individual commercial leagues, fighting is absolutely forbidden in real Olympic games! Why?
Originating in Canada, ice hockey is a traditional sport of the Winter Olympics and was listed as a summer Olympic sport in 1920. There are a maximum of 20 players per team, with 6 players on each side, 3 strikers, 2 defenders and 1 goalkeeper. The rest of the players will be substitutes. Each match has four on-court referees, 2 referees and 2 line judges.
Each match is 60 minutes, divided into 3 innings, and the actual game is 20 minutes in each round, and if it is drawn, it will usher in extra time.
The ice rink is surrounded by a strong boundary wall; two blue lines divide the ice rink into three zones: the defensive zone, the mid zone and the offensive zone. The attacking player cannot enter the blue line of the offensive zone before the ball and receive or touch the ball first, otherwise it will be judged as offside.
There are 9 race points and 5 race rings with a radius of 4.5 meters on the pitch, the center point is blue, and all other points are red. At the beginning of each inning and after each game is over, there will be a scramble.
Violations of ice hockey matches can cause the game to be stopped and bring penalties to the player or team. There are two types of penalties in the game, which are small penalties and large penalties.
Small penalties include tripping an opponent with an ice club, grabbing the opponent with an ice club or both hands, and blocking a player without a hockey ball with the club or body for 2 minutes, and the team that is punished will play more less.
The penalty lasts for 5 minutes, most of the time due to a fight, serious injury to the opposing player or continued minor violations.
In North America, however, ice hockey fights are an established tradition in the sport, and it has a long history, including many amateur and professional competitions, as well as some famous individual fights.
Even, each team has an enforcer role dedicated to fighting – the enforcer. The enforcer is both "offensive" and "defensive", and when he is needed to provoke the opponent, or face the provocation of the opponent, the "full-time thug" has to come out and put things to rest. The rules default to fighting to increase the viewing of the game, and the audience is also very fond of it, and will boo players who dare not fight.
However, in the rules of ice hockey at the Winter Olympics, fighting is not allowed. Compared with a few leagues that acquiesce in fighting due to commercial factors, most of the perpetrators of fights in international ice hockey competitions will be severely punished, and the Olympic Games are even more extraordinary.
Since violence cannot be exchanged for high attention and cannot promote commercialization, it naturally cannot appear on the field. In addition, if you fight in the Olympic ice hockey arena, the punishment will not be light.
According to the rules of the International Hockey Federation, the first player will be directly expelled from the game and subject to suspension penalties, and the players on the team's court will also receive a 5-minute penalty, and the beaten player will also be sentenced to a two-minute penalty. Those who fight seriously will also be suspended for additional matches.
