Safety gear used in ice hockey and the specialty of the skate
The puck in a game of ice hockey is the object that is the one around which the game revolves. Much like the ball in a game of football, this is the object that players endeavor to gain control of and push it into the opponent’s goal post. However, in ice hockey the puck moves at a speed of over 160 kilometer per hour given the slick icy surface which is hard, upon which the game is played. It is therefore natural for the players also to move at equally if not higher speeds to maneuver the ball within their team’s control.
