Field Hockey is a non-contact sport in theory, but like any physical competition like that, there will be some jostling and player-on-player contact. However, any deliberate or serious contact can be quite severely penalised; accidental contact will often be treated like any other offense of that sort.

∙ 11y agonot even close. No one has died playing hockey in the NHL or it's minor leagues and very few have died playing in junior, university and international leagues.
The most dangerous is probably either Formula One racing which has more than 40 or 50 deaths. Or maybe Motorcycle Racing which has more than 100 deaths over the various circuits.
Also, if you're just talking in terms of degrading health effects, then the NFL probably has it beat with the number of registered debilitating conditions, concussions, paralyzing spinal injuries, and broken major bones claimed by former players.

Is tennis a contact sport?
No it is not. But then again, it is. Depends on what your definition of "contact sport" is. In most cases, ping pong is not a contact sport for it contains no actual physical contact between the players as you would see in hockey or football (which are full contact, or collision, sports). According to another definition, ping pong, in a way, is a contact sports because there is physical contact between the player and the ball (when you go to serve the ball, you are holding it. This is considered contact between player and object).
