Hockey 6's

Games played with curved sticks and a ball have been found throughout history and the world. There are 4000-year-old drawings from Egypt. Hurling dates to before 1272 BC in Ireland, and there is a depiction from ca. 600 BC in Ancient Greece where the game may have been called kerētízein because it was played with a horn-like stick. In Inner Mongolia, China, the Daur people have been playing beikou, a game similar to modern field hockey, for about 1,000 years, and there were hockey-like games throughout Europe during the Middle Ages.

The governing body is the 116-member International Hockey Federation (FIH). Men's field hockey has been played at all but two summer Olympic Games since 1908, while women's field hockey has been played at the summer Olympic Games since 1980.

In the 2009 Indian Rim Asian University Games, the University of Western Australia men's side faced off against the men of University Malaya in a three game series.

Fast, entertaining and always played in good spirits, hockey is one of those sports that is just made for the university sports environment. Come and join us at the world class UWA Hockey Superturf for a great half-turf tournament.
