Why is hockey played on ice?
Ever wondered why the game isn’t played on a regular field? Ice gives the puck a smooth ride and lets players zip around at high speed. The frozen surface also creates natural boundaries, so the puck stays inside the rink without extra fences. This blend of speed, skill, and strategy makes every shift feel like a race.
Historically, early versions of the sport were played on frozen lakes and ponds, where kids used sticks to move a ball across the ice. When organized leagues formed, they kept the icy surface because it added excitement and a unique challenge you just don’t get on grass.
