Like ice hockey?

Which came first, Field Hockey (called "Hockey" in the UK) or "Ice" Hockey?
The one that came first should be the one without a qualifier.

The one that came first gracefully abdicated its name and is now called "Bandy"
(except in Russian where its called ... "hockey with ball" :-)

When one lives in a part of the world where outside temperatures cannot
support year-round ice, one improvises.

As a result, field hockey and indoor hockey were created. Most likely
"ice" was added to hockey to eliminate confusion.

Oh, and I almost forgot tonsil hockey, usually played by teenagers in lust.

For those of us that grew up living and breathing hockey we always get that
little smile when somebody says ice hockey. It instantly indentifies you as
an outsider. Much like pronouncing the capital of South Dakota "Pee air".

PMFJI:

"National Hockey League Official Rules"
"Rules Governing the Game of Ice Hockey"
"Section One -- The Rink"
"Rule 1. Rink"

"The game of 'Ice Hockey' shall be played on an ice surface known as
the 'Rink'."

"Hockey" is played on grass. With sticks and a ball.

Ice hockey is the sport played on ice.

It is in the U.S.. My grandmother was quite good at it when she was in college, and
my niece has been offered athletic scholarships to several good schools playing
hockey. On grass.

Now George that's what I call a very liberal attitude.

They won't even let our athletes play on steroids up here.

Aviation/hockey trivia:

Amy Johnson, the 26(?) year old lass with ~100 flight hours who flew
her Gypsy Moth solo 11,000 mile from England to Australia in 1930 in
19 days, lost her front teeth to a hockey puck in secondary school,
IIRC.
