In all the time I have played hockey, every training session, match or team meeting, I have never thought about the hockey world. Do you ever wonder where hockey is the most played sport? Or the most popular? I myself haven't and am very interested to find out different and new information on hockey.
Hockey is very common and popular in Western Europe, Asia, Argentina and Oceania. Something I never new before is that hockey is the national sport of Pakistan. It has also been said that hockey is the national sport of Indian but in actual fact India doe not have a national sport.
Countries where hockey is played
There are a few international competitions for hockey. Some of the main ones are
- The Olympics
- World hockey cup
- Champions trophy
- Hockey Champions Challenge
- Hockey Champions Challenge 2
- Commonwealth games
- Sultan Azlan Shah Hockey tournament
Hopefully this has given you some more insight and knowledge on the world of hockey and the different countries that play the sport.
