A definition or brief description of Field hockey.

A term that is both generic and specific depending on location. In most of the world, it specifically refers to what North Americans call "field hockey", given that their usage of the term is principally for ice hockey. In a generic sense, hockey involves the players using some form of stick to move an object (ball or puck) and attempting to score by putting that object into the opposing team's net.
