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 thing I really enjoyed about hockey is smacking the ball really hard and watching it going rolling really fast on the ground.
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.
Do you like hockey?
