India holds the record of consecutive 8 times Olympic Gold Medalist since 1928 to 1956. In 1960 India won the Silver Medal, but again in 1964 won the Gold. Late Major Dhyan chand is still in the memory in the 'sport's world' as the 'wizard' of Field Hockey.
From 1928 Amsterdam Olympics to 1956 Melbourne Olympics India won six consecutive gold medals at hockey. The two other gold medals for India came in the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and the 1980 Moscow Olympics

Field Hockey: Field hockey was in its early days started with a Bully... this is where one player from opposite teams started at the centre spot and tapped the ground 3 times and the stick 3 times alternatively... then played the ball to their team mates.
If mean the original Hockey World Cup (first held in 1971), as in played on a turf, 11 a side, then Pakistan has won 4 times (1971, 1978, 1982 & 1994), followed by the Netherlands (3 times) and Germany (2 times). India and Australia have also won it. If you mean the Ice Hockey World Cup Tournament as sponsored by the NHL, Canada has won the most times. If you mean the official senior men's World Championships as operated by the IIHF, I also believe it is Canada. However, I suggest you check out the website at www.IIHF.com or simply Google World Hockey Championships to look for a list of gold medal winners.

you go to the center of the field and put the ball there and then you hit each others sticks 2 times and the off you go!
Yes, if Hockey is your favorite sports, you will definitely love Hockey News Magazine. It not only gives an insight into NHL, but also the world of Hockey. The Hockey News has provided the most comprehensive coverage of the world of hockey since 1947 and is published 30 times a year.
The Kookaburras have won two Hockey World Cups(1986 and 2010). Meanwhile, The Hockeyrooshave also won two Women's Hockey World Cups (1994 and 1998).*As of 2012.
The action is called a bully. In modern field hockey, the sticks are only tapped (not hit!) once together, before the ball is in play.
Only one time Pakistan have won the world cup & one time have won the 20-20 world cup.
