"Hockey" is a short way of saying "field hockey." Field hockey is a game played by two teams on a grass field. Players hit a ball with a special stick and try to score points by hitting the ball over the surface of the grass and into the other team's goal at one end of the field. Players from the other team try to prevent scoring by their opponents and try to get the ball into the goal at the opposite end.
