Did you know that Windham not only has a High School
Varsity Hockey Team but that they also have two Middle School teams? Hockey is
alive and well in Windham. With home ice at USM in Gorham the Windham
Teams play weekly games.
Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice, in which skaters use
wooden or composite sticks to shoot a hard rubber hockey puck into their
opponent's net to score points. The game is played between two teams
with six players (five skaters and a goalie) on the ice. A team usually
consists of four lines of three forwards, three pairs of defense men,
and two goalies. Five members of each team skate up and down the ice
trying to take the puck and score a goal against the opposing team. Each
team has a goalie who tries to stop the puck from going into the goal
or "net."
A fast-paced physical sport, hockey is most popular in areas of North
America (particularly in Canada and northern parts of the United States)
and Europe that are sufficiently cold for natural reliable seasonal ice
cover. With the advent of indoor artificial ice rinks hockey has become
a year-round pastime in some areas. In North America, the National
Hockey League (NHL) is the highest level for men, and the most popular.
It is the official national winter sport of Canada where the game enjoys
immense popularity. The first organized game was played on March 3,
1875, in Montreal, Canada.
