My poster is about the physics in ice hockey, in my poster is all the physics that work with hockey, theirs not a lot but there is some, so now I am going to explain how hockey works and how it's made. The object of the game is to get the puck into the opposing teams goal, where you have 5 players on the ice with their goalie, the forwards are in front for offense and defense. For offense there are three one called the left wing, another called the right wing, and then center. Their goal is to shoot on the opposing team. Defense on the other hand is just 2 players, right defense and left defense and their goal is to keep opposing players out of their zone and help out the forwards. The rink or the surface of the ice is 200 ft long and 85 ft wide usually in the NHL or any other rink around the world, but there are such things as smaller rinks or even bigger. The boards that are surrounding the rink are 8 ft tall, so no puck goes out and hits anyone or any hockey player goes flying into someone. The usual height for a hockey net is 4 ft and 6 ft wide; when a hockey player shoots at the net it can end up by going 100 mph which is dangerous for the goal tender, but that's why they have all of that padding.

Taylor, your project was extremely interesting as I learned how hockey players are able to quickly move around the skating ring.
