Hockey

Whether it's an NHL game or simply a game of shinny played on a frozen pond, hockey is a national obsession in Canada, the country that invented the sport. Over the decades, Canada has exported the game to Eastern Europe and Scandinavia, and other parts of the world. Today, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) features 66 member countries, with teams in far-flung places as Argentina, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates. While the hockey world will always revolve around the NHL and the quest for the Stanley Cup, hockey is fast becoming a sport with a truly global reach. To get in on the fastest team in sport on Earth, tag your stories with the word "hockey".
