WHY ICE HOCKEY?
A FAST-PACED PHYSICAL TEAM SPORT
Develops the cardiovascular system of the body
The energy and muscular strength required in hockey help in the development of cardiovascular system, which supplies the muscles with oxygen. Pumping of sufficient quantities of oxygen helps to improve the breathing and cellular activity.
Enhanced muscular strength
The enhanced muscular strength gained from hockey can reduce the risk of injury, improve bone strength, strengthen connective tissues and increase muscle mass. All of these contribute positively to a healthier, stronger body that is less prone to injury and has improved overall function.
Brain boost
Exercise itself can improve your mood because of the endorphin that are released, easing feelings of depression, stress and anxiety. As a form of exercise, hockey provides this benefit, but there’s an added brain boost that comes with the sport as well. Hockey demands good decision-making, and honing these skills on the ice or field can also be transferred to everyday life.
Develops the spirit of team work
Playing with a team of 11 people develops a sense of teamwork as everyone works towards successful achievement of goals and victory.Being able to effectively communicate with a teammate in the middle of a fast play not only leads to success on the ice, but it also leads to the overall improvement in the communication skills of the players.
