Field hockey names have a vocabulary no other sport shares — drag flicks, short corners, the reverse stick that nobody outside the game has heard of.
Get the name onto a proper kit with TeamGear Canada here — jerseys, skorts and keeper sets in one order, no minimum.
The first group plays on stick skills, the second on positions and shape, and the third on club and campus life. It is worth knowing which season you are naming for: the outdoor game is eleven a side on water-based or sand-based turf, while the indoor winter game is six a side on a smaller boarded surface where the ball never leaves the floor and the reverse stick does most of the work. Indoor sides tend to pick from the first two groups; outdoor clubs from the third.
