Ice hockey is a contact team sport played on ice, usually in a rink, in which two teams of skaters use their sticks to shoot a vulcanized rubber puck into their opponent's net to score points.

Ice hockey teams usually consist of six players each: one goaltender, and five players who skate up and down the ice trying to take the puck and score a goal against the opposing team.

Sport (UK) or sports (US) are all usually forms of competitive physical activity or games which, through casual or organized participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases, entertainment for spectators.

Usually the contest or game is between two sides, each attempting to exceed the other.

Some sports allow a tie game; others provide tie-breaking methods, to ensure one winner and one loser.

A number of such two-sided contests may be arranged in a tournament producing a champion.

Many sports leagues make an annual champion by arranging games in a regular sports season, followed in some cases by playoffs.

Hundreds of sports exist, from those between single contestants, through to those with hundreds of simultaneous participants, either in teams or competing as individuals.

In certain sports such as racing, many contestants may compete, each against each other, with one winner.

A graphic tablet (also known as a digitizer, drawing tablet, digital drawing tablet, pen tablet, or digital art board) is a computer input device that enables a user to hand-draw images, animations and graphics, with a special pen-like stylus, similar to the way a person draws images with a pencil and paper.

These tablets may also be used to capture data or handwritten signatures.

It can also be used to trace an image from a piece of paper which is taped or otherwise secured to the tablet surface.

Capturing data in this way, by tracing or entering the corners of linear poly-lines or shapes, is called digitizing.

Video on demand (display) (VOD) are systems which allow users to select and watch/listen to video or audio content such as movies and TV shows when they choose to, rather than having to watch at a specific broadcast time, which was the prevalent approach with over-the-air broadcasting during much of the 20th century.

IPTV technology is often used to bring video on demand to televisions and personal computers.

A sports governing body is a sports organisation that has a regulatory or sanctioning function.

Sports governing bodies come in various forms, and have a variety of regulatory functions.

Examples of this can include disciplinary action for rule infractions and deciding on rule changes in the sport that they govern.

National bodies may or may not be affiliated to international bodies for the same sport.

The first international federations were formed at the end of the 19th century.
