# hockey
## English
### Etymology 1

Unknown, 16th century. Of uncertain origin; possibly related to hook due to the curvature of the stick, or from French hoquet.

#### Pronunciation

* (Received Pronunciation) enPR: hŏk'i, IPA: /ˈhɒki/
* Audio (Southern England):(file)
* (General American) IPA: /ˈhɑki/
* Audio (US):(file)
* Rhymes: -ɒki

#### Noun

hockey (uncountable)
* Any of a family of sports in which hockey sticks are used to move a ball or puck into a goal.
* (Commonwealth) Field hockey, a team sport played on a pitch on solid ground where players have to hit a ball into a net using a hockey stick.
* (Canada, US) Ice hockey, a game on ice in which two teams of six players skate and try to score by shooting a puck into the opposing team's net, using their sticks.

##### Usage notes

* Although there are many variations of hockey, such as roller hockey, street hockey, shinny, or ball hockey, "hockey" without a qualifier almost always means ice hockey in the United States and Canada, and field hockey in the Commonwealth, and the full names of the sports are rarely used in these areas except to avoid confusion. For example, neither the ice hockey world cup (World Cup of Hockey) nor the field hockey world cup (Hockey World Cup) include a qualifying term in their official titles.

** 1950, Edmond Hoyle, Lawrence H. Dawson, “Darts”, in Hoyle’s Games Modernized, 20th edition, London: Routledge & Kegan Paul, →OCLC; republished as The Complete Hoyle’s Games (Wordsworth Reference), Ware, Hertfordshire: Wordsworth Editions, 1994, →ISBN, page 457:As has been mentioned, Darts of to-day is essentially a "public-house game," and in pretty nearly every inn, club, or institute where it has a footing (and in which has it not!) will be found minor variations in play and often games that are peculiar to the locality or even to the "school" itself. […] And in this domestic circle, at all events, it is thought that this set of Rules will prove a useful guide when taken in conjunction with what has already been said as regards the board, its position, the hockey-line, etc.
** 1977, Harry Harrison, chapter 22, in Skyfall, [London]: Hamlyn Publishing Group, →OCLC:Henry Lewis's body was tense, taut, his toes against the hockey, his right arm raised, his left eye half-closed. With grim intensity, backed by years of practice and experience, he sighted along the steel point, drew his arm back—and let the dart fly.
** 1985, Keith Turner, Darts, 1st Perennial Library edition, New York, N.Y.: Harper & Row, →ISBN, page 22:Small bars would tend to produce short hockeys; the tiny fishing pubs of Yarmouth gave rise to 6ft marks […]
