Fast Facts • Played in more than 100 countries, hockey is
considered among the most popular sports in the world. Participation numbers show that hockey is played by as many girls and women as by boys and men.
• The Australian women’s hockey team is called the Hockeyroos, and the men’s team is the Kookaburras.
• There are three ways to score a goal: field goal, penalty corner and penalty stroke.
• Since hockey made its Commonwealth Games debut in Kuala Lumpur in 1998, Australia has won nine out of the total of 10 men’s and women’s gold medals.
