Hockey is an intense sport with quick offense and defense game play with tough players who leave everything on the line every single game played. This sport is played on solid ice and players must have high dexterity with ice skates to be able to dodge and weave between other players to score a goal. It is one of the lowest scoring sports because it is so difficult to get a little puck past a goalie with giant protective gear on.
When a goal is scored, the crowd goes wild because they are few and far between. Players have protective gear for potential wounds since the puck is being launched around the ring very quickly and can fly up easily if hit at the right angle with a hockey stick. Especially when players shoot to score, they launch the puck with all their potential and people have to hope it doesn't hit them in the weak points!
