London 2012 Field Hockey Tickets
Field Hockey is the Summer Games equivalent of regular (ice) hockey. Rather than skating across an ice surface, players simply run across grass (as of 1976, the grass is actually AstroTurf) while attempting to shoot a ball into the opposing team's goal. While field hockey doesn't have quite the same fanatical following as ice hockey, it is nonetheless an exciting game with a devoted following.
Both men's and women's Olympic field hockey is played. Interestingly, major nations such as China, Japan, Russia, Germany, and the United States have yet to win a gold medal in the sport, while India has eight.
