The others have humps and hills that can be dangerous to the players." _ _____ for girls in high school, university leagues Since the sport is relatively new to the Waterloo Region, organized leagues also experience difficulty in obtaining qualified referees. _ _ e We play in the fall because we get a lot of officials from University of Waterloo...

Field hockey is a game that is played for the sake of playâ€" ing and comradeship," said Judy McCrae. ‘*Up to this year no winners were declared and no ties were broken in international competition." _ Nora Berry also believes the fair play aspect of field hockey sets it apart from other sports. â€" 2o "You play it for the sport and not especially for winning. You don‘t have teams walking away from each other not speaking. It‘s a friendly rivalry." _ . . _ Another reason why' the game is popular in area high schools is its relatively inexpensive nature. o Regular field hockey sticks, which have curved blades that are flat on one side, are imported from Pakistan. They cost only three or four dollars. The only other equipâ€" ment required to play the sport is a hard, leather ball and goalie pads.

Waterloo Region coaches say that field hockey has failed to catch on with men in Canada because of the strength of such traditional sports as baseball, football and hockey. ‘"After a boy has learned to play ice hockey it is a very difficult relearning process for him to learn field hockey. Unlike ice hockey, he can‘t protect the ball or check other players. Boys don‘t really need another fall sport because they have football and baseball... Girls don‘t really have any other viable sport like soccer that they can play in the fall," said Judy McCrae,. the coach of UW‘s Athenas field hockey team. ation of Women‘s Hockey stages international competitions for women every four years. â€" â€" The game is very popular in Pakistan, England, Great Britain, Germany, Australia, New Zealand, Spain and some African countries.
