Field Hockey is not a dying sport. It may be classed as a minority sport but due to the many people who take part in the sport it is hard to believe its a minority sport but only in the sense that it is not as highly publicised as soccer, cricket or even rugby.

A sport that closely resembles hockey is lacrosse. Both hockey and lacrosse share several similarities: • Fast-paced play with continuous movement and quick transitions. • Use of sticks to control a ball or puck (hockey uses a puck; lacrosse uses a ball). • Team-based strategy, requiring coordination, passing, and defensive tactics. • Physical contact is allowed in both, though with different rules. • Goal scoring is the primary objective. Interestingly, lacrosse also has deep roots in Canadian history and is considered Canada’s official summer sport, while hockey is the winter sport.
