Tired...hockey traning...Legs have all gone numb...But it's worth the effort.
This a short explanation of what Hockey is about

To begin with, Hockey consist of 11 players,including the goalkeeper.and up to five substitutes. Substitutions are not limited but may not be made during a penalty corners. There are no set positions (even a goalkeeper is not required under the 2007 rules), but most teams arrange themselves (in a similar way to hockey teams) into fullback (defence), midfielders (halfback) and forwards (front line). Many teams include a single sweeper.Lets talk about Goalkeeper's job.Goalkeepers must wear a suitable helmet with full face mask and are also permitted to wear protective padding, including large leg guards, kickers and gloves. Although goalkeepers may block or deflect the ball with any part of their bodies, and propel the ball with their feet. they must always carry a stick, and normal stick rules apply. Goalkeepers are permitted to play the ball outside their defensive circle (scoring area or "D"), but must only use the stick in this circumstance. Fully protected goalkeepers are prohibited from passing their side's defensive 23 m line during play, unless they are taking a penalty stroke.Lastly,The Substitution,five substitutes. Substitutions are not limited but may not be made during a penalty corner.So,Each player and the goalkeepers on each side of the pitch has their own roles play,in order to score a goal.

Now Thats Hockey.....YEA!
