Lace up for a hockey word search full of the gear, positions and rink talk you hear on game night.

Here you will find the player's equipment, the positions on the ice, the rules that make the whistle blow and the stages of a game from the opening drop to sudden death. Young fans in Canada know these words from the stands, and the French translations help bilingual families and language classes.

The page has three levels, easy, medium and hard, with grid sizes from 8×8 to 20×20. Easy grids read only left to right and top to bottom; medium adds diagonals, and hard allows backwards words as well. Every grid is generated and then checked automatically by software, so each word appears exactly once. It is free, needs no sign-up, and prints with an answer key.

The words in this theme

With the French translation, or a short definition: handy for French immersion or a bilingual class.

Suggested school level

Grades 1-4 (ages 6-10): easy 8×8; grades 5-8 move to medium or hard

Classroom activity idea

Print different grids for the team or class in batches of 1, 5, 10 or 30 copies. After solving, each player picks one rule from the list, explains what causes it, and says how the game restarts. Then the group can invent a silly rule for a ball-hockey scrimmage.

Classroom use is allowed: print as many copies as your students need, free of charge, with no sign-up.

Rule words are long and run together without a space, so they stand out; find them first, then work on the short gear words.
