First of all it seems there is a word missing. I have put the objective personal pronoun in brackets because it could be “me, us, etc” - Hockey playing keeps (one) healthy. Another example of this type of sentence is : Eating plenty of fruit is good for health. (Here the –‘ing’ form “eating” is the subject of the verb is and therefore acts like a noun. Hope that answers your question.

This would be a GERUND PHRASE. There are probably other ways of calling it, but I think that is the most common. |
