Ice hockey is a popular winter sport in many northern countries. The game as it is today was invented in the late 1800s in Canada. Hockey players wore ice skates to play on ice. They used curved sticks to hit a black rubber puck into nets to score goals. It is a contact sport, so players are allowed to hit each other in certain ways. Fighting is not allowed, but it does happen from time to time. Because the players skate on ice, they move back and forth very quickly, which has earned the sport the nickname “the fastest game on Earth.”

冰上曲棍球在許多北方國家裡是一項很受歡迎的冬季運動比賽。現今的冰上曲棍球比賽是在十九世紀末期的加拿大被發明出來的。冰上曲棍球球員穿著溜冰鞋在冰上打球。他們用彎曲的球桿來把一個黑色的橡膠冰球打入球門網來得分。這是一種肢體接觸的運動比賽，所以球員被允許以某些方式彼此衝撞。打架是不被允許的，但是它的確偶爾會發生。因為球員是在冰上溜冰，所以他們來回移動很迅速，如此也為這項運動比賽贏得了「地球上最快的比賽」這個暱稱。
