Fun with a Stick and a Ball

Just yesterday I was musing with Tej Singh about the great variety of amazing sports and games that are related to Original Hockey.

Any game with "HOCKEY" in the name is a direct descendant:
floor hockey, ice hockey, roller hockey, street hockey, sand hockey,
table hockey, air hockey, box hockey, gym hockey, and probably more.  Can you think of others?

Here are a few others: rinkball, inline hockey, foot hockey, broomball, ringette, floor ball.

Underwater hockey is a popular variant for those who can hold their breath. 

Bandy, shinty, and hurling are all cousins of original hockey.

The thing is, each and every one of these games is a blast to play!!!!
Why, because at their core, they satisfy the physical desire we all have for fun with a stick and a ball!  
Not to be forgotten is the dangerous game of FIRE BALL!
