Hockey is played on ice.

Field Hockey is played on grass.

In two countries out of two hundred and three.

US, Canada, Sweden, Russia, Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Russia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, etc.

And Charliebear lives in one of those countries, so people should assume she's referring to ice hockey.

The geographic origin of the e-mail is not supplied.

Moreover, since the first ice hockey player to wear a helmet was in the 1928-9 season, and the mandatory wearing of helmets was not announced until August 1979, the e-mail itself is rather suspect.

Before you go any further, you are aware of the names of the relevant international federations, aren't you?

Hockey (or "Field Hockey" as you would have it) is the "International Hockey Federation".
Ice Hockey is the "International Ice Hockey Federation".

Heh, Jaron really ought to be more aware of financial trends.

After all, the market for novelty salsa-dispensers is going to track the financial markets pretty closely.

Fuck you two Alci. I dare you to call me that to my face. I'll show you an insurgency.

Ice hockey is played by men, field hockey is played by Catholic school girls and Indians.

Yes, that's also correct.
