Q: Since hockey is a full contact sport, you will need to wear protective padding and helmets so you will not get injured if you fall on the ice. Make sure you get pads and helmets that fit your body type and secure them tightly. You will also need a good pair of hockey skates that offer ankle support and mobility. Never play ice hockey without any protective gear. Do not use regular ice skates since they limit your mobility and will not be as effective as skates designed for hockey. The hockey rink is divided into 3 sections marked by the blue lines on the ice. The center section with the thick red line is the neutral zone and the zones with the goals are that respective team's zones. A thin red lines on the ends of the rink are the goal lines where the goals are located. The semicircle on each goal line represents the crease, or the area where the goalie plays. There are multiple circles on the rink that represent areas where you may have a face-off. The face-off circles are usually used after a penalty. The dot in the center of the rink is the starting position where you'll have a face-off at the start of the game. When the referee drops the puck, use your hockey stick to fight for control of the puck. Once the puck is down, the game clock will start running. You will also have face-offs at the start of each game period and after each point. You may have face-offs after certain penalties as well. The main goal of the game is to get the puck into your opponent's goal on their side of the rink. Use your stick to shoot the puck into the goal to score 1 point for your team. If you are playing goalie, try to defend your goal from the puck so the other team cannot score. There are no limits to how many points you can score during a game. After each goal, have a face-off on the center line. Hockey has minor and major penalties that could cause you to get taken out of the game for 2 or 5 minutes. When the referee blows the whistle, stop playing the game and watch the hand signals they give to determine what the penalty was and who it was called on. Common penalties include: Dangerous use of the stick, including slashing or high-sticking Obstruction penalties, including hooking or tripping. Interfering with or checking a player not in control of the puck Checking from behind or by targeting the head A period consists anywhere from 12-20 minutes depending on the league you are playing with. When a period is over, take a short break off the ice and talk with your team. During the next period, switch the side of the rink you are playing on and continue the game. After the third period, the team with the most points wins! If the game is tied after the third period, play another overtime period.
A: Wear a helmet, pads, and hockey skates. Learn the layout of the rink. Start the game with a face-off in the center of the rink. Score points by hitting the puck into the opponent's goal. Avoid getting any penalties. Play through 3 periods to complete the game.

Q: If possible, bring the spider who bite you in to the doctor's office. Identification of the spider will help your doctor diagnose you properly. You can proceed with home care treatment once you are bitten. But you should try to see a doctor or medical professional as soon as possible after you are bitten as the bite could be serious or fatal. Use a clean cloth and dip it in mild soap and room temperature water. Clean the bite area in small circular motions. Wrap ice in a clean towel or put ice in a plastic bag and then wrap it in a clean washcloth or towel. Place the compress over the bite for 10 minutes and then take it off for 10 minutes. Repeat this process in 10 minute intervals. If the person who is bitten has circulatory problems, reduce the time the compress is on the bite site. This will slow the spread of the venom from the bite site to the rest of your body and reduce any swelling of the bite area. Wrap a compression bandage above the bite to reduce pain and swelling. If you do not have an actual compression bandage, tying any cloth above the bite site can slow down the spread of the venom. Raise the arm, hand, leg or foot with the bite above your heart by propping it up on a pillow. Make sure the bandage is snug, but is not cutting off your circulation. This will only accelerate the tissue destruction around the bite and increase swelling and pain. You should also never attempt to remove the spider venom with a suction device or cut out the affected tissue. Avoid applying any steroid creams to the bite area, such as hydrocortisone cream. Acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen or naproxen will help reduce the swelling and pain.. You can also take an antihistamine to alleviate any itchiness around the bite area. At your doctor's appointment, or in emergency care, confirm the bite is a recluse spider bite and allow the doctor to treat the bite. After the initial evaluation, your doctor may prescribe the following treatments: A Tetanus immunization shot. Antibiotics, if there are signs of infection in the wound. Antihistamines, such as Benadryl, to help with itchiness. Pain medications. Schedule a follow up appointment with the doctor to confirm you do not have any infections or complications due to the recluse spider bite. It's important to monitor your recovery so the bite does not get worse or become infected. If there is damaged tissue around the bite, talk to your doctor about having it surgically removed.
A:
