Hockey

 Hi guys welcome to my blog, I am going to be talking to be talking to you about hockey and what it is.

What is hockey?

Hockey is a game that is played for fun or it is played competitively.

The things you need for hockey is a hockey stick, a hockey ball and a mouth guard, and the last thing you need is a pair of shin pads for safety.
