Hockey made its first appearance at the London 1908 Olympic Games. It did not return until the Antwerp 1920 Games, but it has remained part of the Olympic programme ever since. The first Women’s event was held at Moscow 1980.

How to Play Hockey is played on a 91 x 55 metre outdoor pitch by two teams of 11 players. There are 16 players in a squad and substitutes can roll onto and off the pitch thoughout the match. Each player uses a stick that is flat on one side and rounded on the other. Players must use the flat side of their stick to hit and control the hard Hockey ball. Goals can only be scored by a member of the attacking team from inside the shooting circle(a semi-circular area in front of their goal). At the end of a 70-minute match, the team with the highest number of goals wins. || include component="backlinks" page="Hocky" limit="10"
