Is this really hockey? Can they call it something else?

    It looks like rolling field hockey, with the ball and the stick shaped that way.

    Funny story, while at the office of my current job there was a Dutch guy hanging around waiting to get on an assignment. He wouldn’t stop talking, mostly about himself (not to promote a stereotype, but I haven’t found a single Dutchmen who can’t shut up or talk about anything other than themselves).

    He told me one day about how great a hockey player he was and how he had trouble finding good competition in his league in Cleveland. I said “Oh, I found the leagues to be pretty tough, have you been playing since childhood or something?” He said “No, I am talking about Field Hockey. Have you played? It is far more demanding than ice hockey.” I said, “Well, Lars, over here it’s a chick sport, so I can’t think it’s that tough.” He really didn’t understand me because his name wasn’t Lars, it was Brahm, but he couldn’t get the joke. He kept saying, “You know my name isn’t Lars, right?”

    Freaky Deaky Dutch.
