                   oh    -   well   ,   it's a sport
                   where you have a really
                   big ice rink   ,   and the
                   players all have to skate
                   really fast along the ice
                   holding a really long
                   stick   ,   they have to
                   hit this small object
                   called a puck and then
                   they have to hit it into
                   the opponents net   .

                   yeah   ,   they add that extra
