The sport you are referring to is Hurling. Some people call it hurley which is an informal name for the sport and the stick used. Hurling is one of the national sports of Ireland, where it comes from. It origins go back thousands of years. It is the fastest field game in the world. Like hockey, it is a stick and ball field game, but the two sports are very different. See the related questions below.
