Hockey has a long history even though many people would like to believe that it is a modern game. In fact, researchers and archeologists have found that games similar to hockey have existed throughout history. Historical evidence shows that in the past also teams existed and each of the teams tried to place a ball and even take a shot at the opponent's goal using a stick.

Now-a-days Hockey is a very violent game, and spectators love to watch the opposing team gets crushed against the boards. Many people wonder what this is teaching young fans and, unfortunately, violence is very common in the little leagues. Many leagues have adopted a no tolerance policy for aggressive play, and some have banned this type of contact all together. The game of hockey is physically challenging, mentally demanding, exciting and above all, ever changing.
