Hockey is any of a family of sports in which two teams compete by trying to maneuver a ball or hard round disc, called a puck, into the opponent's net or goal, using a stick.
The dominant version of hockey in a particular region tends to be known simply as hockey, other forms being more fully qualified.
Field hockey
Field hockey is played with a ball on gravel, grass or sand-based or water-based
artificial turfs.
The game is popular among both genders in many countries of the world, particularly in India, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and South Asia, though in the United States and Canada it is predominately played by women. Its governing body is the International Hockey Federation (FIH).
