(220212) -- BEIJING, Feb. 12, 2022 (Xinhua) -- Mislav Rosandic (rear C) and Marek Hrivik (rear R) of Slovakia are sent off during the ice hockey men's preliminary round Group C match between Sweden and Slovakia at National Indoor Stadium in Beijing, capital of China, Feb. 11, 2022. As the Chinese ice hockey players showed up at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, this game is attracting more and more of the public's attention. At Wukesong Sports Centre in Beijing, staff working for the ice hockey events put the ice pucks into cooling boxes. The puck, made of vulcanized rubber, is a flat hard disc that needs to be frozen before the game to reduce elasticity during the play. The men's and women's ice hockey were listed as the official Winter Olympic events in the years of 1924 and 1998 respectively. Ice hockey, also known as "hockey on the ice", is like a combination of football, field hockey and short track speed skating. A contact sports as ice hockey is, it is also a combination of power and passion, bringing a powerful visual impact to the audience. At the same time, in order to ensure safety, ice hockey games have to meet certain standards for venues and players' dress code, which also constitutes some of the "cool facts" on the ice hockey rink.
