Ice hockey is popular in colder places such as Canada and Scandinavia, however it is less often seen in countries as my own such as the United Kingdom. 
I live in the United States and it is very popular here, although I don't know much about it. Have you ever seen a game?
I haven't, no. However, hockey played on grass is common in the United Kingdom and I was part of my secondary school team, competing against other school teams in my county. 
Wow! That's interesting! Is hockey played on grass as much of a contact sport as hockey played on ice?
Definitely not! It always amazes me how many fights ice hockey players seem to get in to. Hockey is non-contact over here, although I have seen the odd person get hit in the face with a stick where the other person has raised their stick too high!
