During a game, every movement of the puck follows the laws of physics and illustrates the concepts of force, impulse and collisions. 

These pinpoint passes, requiring both magnitude and direction, are perfect examples of velocity vectors. 

Being a top goalie in the NHL requires the key averages and statistics of goaltending. 

Geometry is used in hockey in every pass and shot the athletes make. 

NHL players display a great mix of speed a strength which are great examples of Newton's Three Laws of Motion.
