Floor hockey is a recreational sport in which two teams have 5 players and a goalie. Each team tries to score points by getting the hockey puck in the other team's net under organized rules. A number of consistent techniques have evolved in floor hockey, including "one timer," deflecting the puck as well as passing, shooting, and specialized player positions and offensive and defensive structures. Floor hockey can be played anywhere, making it a great year-round sport!
