HOCKEY THAT ANYONE CAN PLAY!

General Information

WHAT IS BALL HOCKEY (STREET HOCKEY)?

Although the sport is now much more organized, for many, their first experience remains the same as for those who first played street hockey, or road hockey, now more often known as ball hockey. It simply involved a few friends or family members, an open area, such as a roadway or parking lot near their home, some rocks or bricks, to mark the goal posts, a tennis ball, old hockey sticks, and the game was on.
