What is the opposite of hockey?

There is no direct opposite of a sport.

However, one suggestion is Golf. Although both sports involve striking an object with a flat blade, there are many opposite characteristics:

  • Hockey is a team sport, golf is individuals.
  • The actual game of hockey cannot be practiced by one person.
  • Hockey is played on ice, golf mostly on grass
  • There is only one general hockey stick, but multiple golf clubs.
  • Hockey rinks for competition are enclosed, and marked; golf is open air
  • Hockey is won by scoring the most points, golf by the fewest strokes
  • Hockey uses a puck, golf a ball.
  • Golfers almost never loose teeth while playing
  • Far fewer hockey players have been bitten by wild animals while playing

However, both involve skills that need to be developed, and improve with practice, and both benefit from the use of controlled strength. Both include scoring locations that the struck object must enter (net, hole). Both have officials on the playing area. Pucks and balls can both go out of play (although pucks are almost always found, not lost). Misbehavior in either sport is punishable by removal from the competition.
