Field Hockey- Where there is no ice

Canada vs. Great Britain So it's the summer games and this is as close as it gets to ice hockey.

I really enjoyed the game.


So in field hockey you have sticks with a smaller rounder end on them that you use to hit a small ball.


We had great seats 2nd row behind the goalie but unfortunately there was a fence to keep us safe that interfered some with my pictures.

It was a close game, very exciting.

There's Great Britain's goalie.

There are two 35 minute halves in field hockey.


It was pretty fast pace with a lot of running sort of like soccer.

There's Canada's goalie with his painted mask!


Facing off...


Headed towards the goal...

... missed!

Chancing the ball in again...
... score!


Great Britain was pretty excited.


The end score was a tie 1:1.

Going in from the corner.


Fighting over the ball as it goes out of bounds.
