		Field hockey, like many sports, is of obscure origins, but traces in one form or another to the ancient Egyptians and Persians, making it one of the world’s oldest known sports.
		Men have played field hockey in the United States since 1890, but the Field Hockey Association of America, which regulates men’s play, was not formed until 1930, and the sport continues to appeal very little to American males.
		The game is played on a level field, measuring 50 to 60 yd by 90 to 100 yd (46 to 55 m by 82 to 91 m), by two teams of 11 players each (five forwards, three halfbacks, two fullbacks, and a goalkeeper).

		Until the mid-1980s it was generally accepted that ice hockey derived from English field hockey and Indian lacrosse and was spread throughout Canada by British soldiers in the mid-1800s.
		The players adopted elements of field hockey, such as the "bully" (later the face-off) and "shinning" (hitting one's opponent on the shins with the stick or playing with the stick on one "shin" or side); this evolved into an informal ice game later known as shinny or shinty.
		Early hockey games allowed as many as 30 players a side on the ice, and the goals were two stones, each frozen into one end of the ice.
