How is modern hockey better today?

Answer 1

There are many reasons: * Better surfaces result in a faster and more skillful game, but one which is easier to follow. * Sticks and skills are now developed to the point where jinking and dribbling are so varied graceful almost to the point of being a sport unto themselves. * Better goalkeeper equipment has led to many keepers being capable of movement and action as quick as any player without the gear, meaning they can make better saves more often. * Rules and organisation have progressed a large amount, leading to the sport being safer, more consistent, more flowing and more enjoyable than ever.
