Flag football is similar to American football is almost every way except the tackling. For example, a down in flag football is the same as it is in American football - ten yards.
In American football, a team gets 4 downs to reach either the first down marker or the end zone. In Canadian football, a team gets 3 downs to reach either the first down marker or the end zone.
The passer only geta seven seconds to throw the ball or else he is considered down. Also, the blitzer has to be seven yards back from the line of scrimmage (LOS).
No-running zones are located five yards in front of each end zone

1) In flag football, padding and helmets are not used. 2) In tackle football in order to bring down a ball carrier you have to tackle him and his knee has to touch the ground. Where as in flag football only the flag has to be pulled off in order to bring the ball carrier to a stop. 3) Offensive and Defensive lineman are not usually used in flag football.
As Flag Football is a variation of American Football and this began in the Mid 19th Century and Flag Football would have come sometime after that, I would think that Hockey did come before Flag Football as Hockey has its origins in ancient times, but the modern form of field hockey was developed in the early 19th century.
