• Ice Hockey( an off shoot of the field game ) has swifter action than almost any other sport. As the players streak across the ice, their powerful shots and passes often send the puck travelling faster than 100 miles (160 kilometres) per hour. To keep the action fast, ice hockey has an unusual rule. It is the only major sport that allows players to be substituted while play is in progress. For more information contact:
