hockey

Etymology 1
, 16th century, possibly related to due to the curvature of the stick.

Noun

 * 1) Any of a family of sports in which hockey sticks are used to move a ball or puck into a goal.
 * 2)  Field hockey, a team sport played on a pitch on solid ground where players have to hit a ball into a net using a hockey stick.
 * 3)  Ice hockey, a game on ice in which two teams of six players skate and try to score by shooting a puck into the opposing team's net, using their sticks.

Usage notes
Although there are many variations of hockey, such as roller hockey, street hockey, shinny, or ball hockey, "hockey" without a qualifier almost always means ice hockey in the United States and Canada, and field hockey in the Commonwealth, and the full names of the sports are rarely used in these areas except to avoid confusion. For example, neither the ice hockey world cup nor the field hockey world cup  include a qualifying term in their official titles.
