road hockey

Asphalt stick game

Road hockey is hockey played on a paved surface—a street, driveway, or parking lot—rather than on ice.

Players use street hockey sticks and a ball or puck, with improvised goals.

Primarily a Canadian and northern U.S. pastime, it requires minimal equipment: We played road hockey until the streetlights came on.

Also called street hockey.
