Reading it right off the box it came in. Does the unit 'feature' a refresh rate of 60Hz? 120Hz? Or isn't that even a valid question?

Does Hockey get transmitted at 120Hz?

I don't think anything is actually in 120hz anyways, as far as typical videos/TV sources. The TV just doubles the framerate of 60hz input. It's a useless feature on the TV.

Yeah that was the point I was trying to make (perhaps a little too elliptically LOL)

Watch hockey (or any sport with rapid movement) on a TV with 60Hz refresh rate VS a TV with 120 Hz, or higher. I guarantee you'll see a big difference.

The broadcasted signal isn't in 120hz. Most 120hz TVs don't even accept a 120hz signal, just 60hz, and then they double it.

On a 60 Hz TV, when a hockey player passes the puck, you will very likely see a 'trail' behind the puck..like a blur. On a TV with a faster refresh rate, you see a singular puck - clear, no streaks. If it's not because of
the refresh rate of the TV, then what causes it?

Like mouse trails on the computer? Personally I'd find that useful given that I have problems even seeing a rugby or soccer ball drift across the screen.
More seriously though you are seeing some form of smoothing, which most people HATE in a TV.
There is probably some electronic trickery. Basically the only way to improve the signal your TV company is sending you is if they are creating frames by interpolating between two frames. So the puck is at co-ordinates 1,5 in frame one and 1,25 in frame two. Your TV is possibly creating a frame 1.5 where the puck is at 1,15. But it is at best a guess.
