Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The two sports most popular in Canada are Ice Hockey and Football. The football that's played in Canada is different from soccer that is played around the world. It is more like rugby, and ice hockey is called just hockey in Canada.

    In Ice hockey, the teams consist of six players, including a goaltender or goal keeper. The hockey stick has a curved blade and the ball is a puck; a hard rubberized disc. It's played in an ice rink with the players wearing ice skates. As a winter sport, it has been made the national winter sport of Canada.

    Canadian football has teams consisting of 12 players each. The field is about 100 meters long, with 40 feet high goal posts with a cross bar. The ball is a brown ovoid, with tapering ends.
    Canadian and American football is very similar.
