The Physics of the players

ddd
  • In Hockey, you need to be able to skate on the ice, which requires you to put a certain amount of force so you are able to get your skates into the ice
  • F_y -mg=0 (site)
  • The goaltender also needs to be able to move around in front of his net which friction and gravity allow     

  • There can also be a lot of contact in between the players, so when there is contact, there's the normal force from the 2 players coming in contact and pushing on each other --><--
