The term 'Hockey Surface' refers to the playing surface on which hockey is played. The most common surface is ICE, which is represented by the 3-letter solution ICE. ICE hockey is a sport that is played on a large sheet of ICE, usually in an indoor or outdoor arena. The ICE is maintained at a temperature of around -5°C and is kept smooth and level for optimal play. Hockey players wear skates to move quickly across the ICE and use sticks to hit a puck into the opposing team's goal.
