I read somewhere that their were over 3million hockey players in the world but i think there maybe more than that. as the 3 million mentioned are probably registered players and i know there maybe more because i know in this counrty alone there are some unregistered players and clubs so there must be more the world over. ANYONE CARE TO ADD OR TELL ME THE RIGHT FIGURE... it would be interesting to know.
Including the goalkeeper there are 11 players on the field at a time, but most teams have up to four reserves, so a maximum of 15 possible field players per game.
