I am in excellent shape!  I need to be because hockey is fast-paced and physical!  I love to slam my opponents into the boards!  WHAM!
I love hockey! Oh do you!  Did you know there are several types of hockey, including ice hockey, field hockey, and bandy? Wow, that's great! Yes!  I know more about hockey:  it's a sport that involves two teams.  Players try to maneuver a puck or ball with a hockey stick.  The aim is to get it into the opposition's goal! That's a good description.  How many people are on each team?
