  5. Ice Hockey Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice, in which skaters use wooden or composite sticks to shoot a hard rubber puck(硬橡胶冰球) into their opponent's net. The game is played between two teams with six players (five skaters and a goalie) on the ice. A team usually consists of two winger(翼锋), one centerman(中锋),a pair of defensemen(中锋)and one goalie(守门员). Five members of each team skate up and down the ice trying to take the puck and score a goal against the opposing team. Each team has a goaltender who tries to stop the puck from going into the goal or "net."
