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 world, yet held an Olympic Medal in “field” hockey (I hate having to specify the “field bit, too!), does ice spring to peoples minds whenever you mention hockey. Yes, the Sekonda Superleague is more popular than hockey’s National League, and gets a lot more coverage, but “my” hockey is more fun, easier ...  Read the complete review

Background - From a very young age I was always a very good sprinter, I won an AAA award at the age of 10 but I started to become slightly bored and wanted to play a game with more team involvement. At school we were introduced to numerous different games such as football, rugby, cricket and basketball which I enjoyed playing but never really got into. At the age of 12 I was introduced to field Hockey. Now many people have the idea that hockey is a 'Girly sport' and only softies play it, but I can assure you that unless you have been hit with a solid wooden stick, or in the head by a ball as hard as a cricket ball travelling at around 80mph in the head you ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Hockey - General: Hockey. A brilliant sport but not for me. (1011 words)

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..... According to Wikipedia "Field hockey is played on gravel, natural grass, sand-based or water-based artificial turf, with a small, hard ball. The game is popular among both males and females in many parts of the world. In most countries, the game is played between single-sex sides, although they can be mixed-sex. The governing body is the 116-member International Hockey Federation (FIH). Modern field hockey sticks are J-shaped and constructed of a composite ...  Read the complete review

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. I am retired now due to family commitments - 2 children and an unco-operative husband. Ah well I have lots of fantastic memories of my 21 years of playing hockey. I only played for one club - Sherwood (who were one of the top clubs in the country), sadly no longer in existence as they have merged with our once great rivals Crimson Ramblers and are now called Highfields and play at the Hockey Centre in Nottingham. Hockey is quite a technical game and you have to know the rules to play ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Hockey - General: The Dr. Pepper Of Sports! (909 words)

I am a relative hockey beginner, I only started playing seriously in September last year. Since then it has grown into my favourite sport to play, I simply love it, you can't not. I began hockey when I was still in school, I played it for P.E and was in the school mixed-hockey team. But after a while, after relentless taunts aimed at me that hockey is for girls, I decided to quit playing. I never really understood those comments, hockey is in fact one of the most competitive sports around. I soon joined college and still had not picked up a stick since Year 10. Then I discovered that some of friends played, I now wouldn't be mocked. It ...  Read the complete review
