I don't know the exact year but it does date back to the middle ages!! England, Scotland, France, and the Netherlands all played field hockey.

So it predates ice hockey ... and in which country  is it popular  ?

I'm not too sure. I'm in America and I've never seen a field hockey game and I don't know anyone who watches or plays it. Ice hockey is different though. I know that's popular in Canada, the US, Russia, Scandinavia, and Eastern Europe.

And do you know other differences between ice hockey and field hockey ?

Ice hockey uses a rubber puck, field hockey is a round plastic ball. Field hockey isn't on ice, it's on turf or synthetic field. Ice hockey is 5 players on each, team field hockey is 11! Those are the main differences.

Ho thanks, and is there any federation that regulates the practice of field hockey ? like FIFA for soccer.

That I have no idea about...lol. I have told you pretty much everything I know about it. Are you more familiar with it or have you ever played it?

NO, I only watched a game while I was scanning what was on the TV ? IS there any legend (really good player) in field hockey ?

Apparently there's a guy named Jamie Dwyer that's pretty popular. I don't know much about him though
