Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'hockey' (the sport) with 'team' (a group of players), so a B1 learner who knows both words will infer it refers to a group that plays hockey. This noun+noun composition is a regular, cross-linguistically common pattern in English, making the expression immediately comprehensible from its parts.
Etymology
Hockey team joins hockey, the sport on ice with a puck, and team, a group working together. Picture players skating, passing the puck and helping each other, so hockey team means 'a group of players who play hockey together'.
