Hockey:
A team game played between two teams of eleven players each, using hooked sticks with which the players try to drive a small hard ball towards goals at opposite ends of a field. In North America it is called field hockey to distinguish it from ice hockey.
Implied in a document from Ireland, "The horlinge of the litill balle with hockie stickes or staves.....", of unknown origin.
