Time to try hockey

hockey and they went blank.
It is very sad how this sport has been relegated to the so called “A” schools and you don’t find it anywhere in the high-density schools with exceptions here and there.
It is therefore a challenge for the authorities in high-density schools to try and to groom their students both academically as well as in all sporting activities who knows another golden generation of successful players might be born.
Hockey is a family of sports in which two teams play against each other by trying to manoeuvre a ball or a puck into the opponents’ goal using a hockey stick.
In many areas, one sport (typically field hockey or ice hockey) is generally referred to simply as hockey.
Field hockey is played on gravel, natural grass, sand-based or water-based artificial turf, with a small, hard ball.
The game is popular among both males and females in many parts of the world, particularly in Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
In most countries, the game is played between single-sex sides, although they can be mixed-sex.
The governing body is the 116-member International Hockey Federation (FIH). Men’s field hockey has been played at each summer Olympic Games since 1908 (except 1912 and 1924), while women’s field hockey has been played at the Summer Olympic Games since 1980.
Modern field hockey sticks are J-shaped and constructed of a composite of wood, glass fibre or carbon fibre (sometimes both) and have a curved hook at the playing end, a flat surface on the playing side and curved surface on the rear side.
While current field hockey appeared in the mid-18th century in England, primarily in schools, it was not until the first half of the 19th century that it became firmly established. The first club was created in 1849 at Blackheath in south-east London. Field hockey is the national sport of Pakistan.
Ice hockey is played on a large flat area of ice, using a 76,2mm vulcanised rubber disc called a puck. This puck is often frozen before high-level games to decrease the amount of bouncing and friction on the ice.
The game is contested between two teams of skaters. The game is played all over North America, Europe and in many other countries around the world to varying extent.
Ice hockey is played at a number of levels, by all ages.
Cool lifestyle wishes you the best as you introduce this sport at your schools. For those who plays it already wishes you a replica of the golden girls. Till next time stay focused.
