Typically the most exposure people get to the game of hockey is a few lessons at school with pre war boomerang sticks on a grass field and the game is ...  Read the complete review

I just read a good review about hockey by Sympatic and I got to thinking about my experience of the game. But first, for those of you that don't know.....

This is a review of my personal experience of the wonderful sport of hockey ? not really a technical review of the laws of the game! I may get around to that another time.

Ice-Hockey was one of the first organised games played in North America...but unknown to most is that it was first played in CANADA!

Ice-Hockey is the type of game ...  Read the complete review

The club was called Templars, i was very yound at the time, about 10 years old, ...  Read the complete review

What really annoys me is this. Telling people I play hockey and being asked “Oh, do you skate”, or “you mean ice hockey?” or “Isn’t that dangerous, all that shoulder charging and stuff?” No, no, NO! Why, in a country that is regularly skated all over by the greatest ice hockey teams in the ...  Read the complete review

I believe that hockey is better than footbal down to the fact that it requires more skill to play and its top players don't need to earn thousands of pounds a week to play for their team I have been playing Hockey for nearly four years now and it is one of the best things I have ever done. It all started when a friend of ...  Read the complete review

When you mention the sport hockey, many people will give you a strange glare and think that you're either a posh boy or a pansy. This definitely isn't the case as hockey can be one of the most dangerous and competetive sports around.

Hockey is one of the most boring and tedius sports that exist today. Although everyone knows of hockey, hockey is not well talked about in the world today. This shows how people feel that the game is very boring. But, the game is very energetic and so can make hockey lovers very fit. Nearly all muscles are used in the game as ...  Read the complete review

Having taken Hockey up two years ago, I can truely recommend it as the best game I have ever played and I tend to be a very athletic person. You only need to learn a few basic skills to start with and then you can just learn from others as you play. Later, tactics and complex moves can be added in and when these moves result in a goal ...  Read the complete review

This brings me on to my gripe about the ...  Read the complete review

The clubs atmosphere is really good everyone gets on well and whether we win or lose we have a great laugh after the game.

I would just like to say how badly I think the National Field Hockey team have done at the olymics this year. In Seoul in 1988, great Britain Men picked up the Gold Medal. Yet 12 years later they do not even qualify for the next round. How can a team deteriorate so quickly? The answer may be the lottery funding. With all of the extra ...  Read the complete review
