About Hockey

Field hockey, or simply hockey in Asia, Oceania, Africa and parts of Europe, is a fast-paced team sport in which two teams of eleven players (ten field players and one goalkeeper) use curved sticks to maneuver a small, hard hockey ball towards the rival team's shooting circle and then into the goal. The team with the most goals at the end of play wins the match.
