 ... the school days of hockey i would highly recommend that you give it another look. Firsty we play on astroturf not grass. Astroturf is synthetic grass with a sand base. This make the game a lot faster, cleaner (no mud!!), and skillful! We do still play in winter but astroturf freezes at 2degrees and you cannot play on a frozen astroturf! Most hockey clubs have several teams so you can normally find somewhere that will suit your ability/desired level. I know of many players who if they put some hours in could play a ...more

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
