Morphology
The meaning 'a team sport played on ice' is directly derivable from combining 'ice' (frozen surface) with 'hockey' (a stick-and-puck team sport); the modifier 'ice' simply specifies the playing surface. This is a regular, compositional noun compound found across languages (e.g., Spanish 'hockey sobre hielo'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
Ice hockey comes from joining ice, the frozen surface where it is played, with hockey, an old word for a crooked stick used to hit a ball. So ice hockey means 'a team sport played on ice' where players use sticks to move a puck into the goal.
