Floor hockey
Floor hockey is a team sport played on a hard indoor surface, where players use sticks to move a ball or puck into the opposing team’s goal.
Floor hockey stick: A lightweight stick used to control and propel a ball or puck in floor hockey. Its blade and shaft determine how players handle the game object.
Ice hockey: A team sport played on ice in which players use sticks to shoot a puck into a goal. Floor hockey carries over ice hockey’s team structure and scoring objective.
Physical education: The educational practice of teaching physical activity, movement skills, and health-related knowledge. Floor hockey is commonly adapted into school lessons for group play and skill practice.
Inline hockey: A hockey sport played on inline skates over a hard surface, usually with a puck. Inline hockey adds skating and typically uses a puck rather than floor hockey’s common ball.
Floor hockey ball: A lightweight ball, often perforated plastic, used in many forms of floor hockey. Ball choice affects speed, bounce, and safe play on hard floors.
Street hockey: A form of hockey played on pavement or another hard outdoor surface, usually with a ball. Street hockey shares floor hockey’s non-ice play and ball-based adaptations.
Special Olympics floor hockey: A team sport offered in Special Olympics, with rules adapted for athletes with intellectual disabilities. Its organized competitions show how floor hockey can be adapted for inclusive sport.
Ice hockey rink: A bounded ice surface designed for playing ice hockey. An ice rink contrasts with the hard indoor floors used for floor hockey.
Floor hockey puck: A disk-shaped object used instead of a ball in some floor hockey formats. Some rule sets use a puck, changing how it slides and is controlled.
Roller hockey: A family of hockey sports played on skates over hard surfaces, using a ball or puck. Roller hockey is a neighboring adaptation of hockey away from ice.
