Comic from XDCD comic 669 (Link not included, since not all comics contain language appropriate for children)
Skaters race around the rink, colliding while trying to make goals. It is hard to find a more exciting fast-paced sport than hockey (maybe I'm biased). At a match, physics is often the last thing on your mind. However, the game really is just physics. The ice nearly becomes that infamous frictionless surface. Hockey is a physics playground. Check out this (the San Francisco Exploratorium) site to learn more about the physics of hockey.
This video also talks about the physics of hockey. It also talks about ice thermodynamics, a topic related (the thermodynamics part) to what we study. Thermodynamics is the study of how energy is transferred.
