There are four kinds of hockey which are field hockey, air hockey, street hockey and ice hockey.
Field hockey is similar to soccer.
You play on a field that is 100 yards by 60 yards with a ball the size of a baseball. It is a team sport and that is what makes it so exciting. There are 10 players and one goalie trying to hit the ball into a goal the size of a soccer net. The game is divided into two halves which are 35 minutes for each half. Field hockey can sometimes be dangerous, and that is why men and women don't play on the same team in the Olympics.
