Yes we play field hockey here very popular not quite up there with netball or basketball. We are mostly all decendants of England Ireland Wales and Scotland.

Part 1:

Being a Canadian, I love the sport of hockey. After all, Canada is the birthplace of hockey. (Hockey on ice, that is.)

Back when I was growing up, in the winter, we would put on our skates and play hockey on the harbour ice (The frozen Atlantic Ocean).

Part 2:

In the summer, we played road hockey. Similar to the field hockey that is shown on your video, Carol. Course tho, we still used regular type ice-hockey sticks, unlike the ones in the video.

I should add, those songs playing in the background are awesome. I like them all. One thing I noticed about the celebrants and the entire video - > very happy and upbeat. Excellent.

Hi There lovely to hear from you. Imagine skating on the Atlantic Ocean boy thats cold. We play ice hockey here too outdoors not so much on natural ice now but on an ice rink. We have the first international indoor curling rink in the Southern hemisphere. Vewry popular. I always loved turf hockey so fast. Your friend Carol x
