Can anyone help me summarize this?
"About 2500 years ago, the early Greeks and other ancient nations played a game similar to present day hockey. Ice hockey (6 players) and field hockey (11 players) are forms of the sport played with different rules and different types of equipment.
Between 1880 and 1890 field hockey was played by men in Europe. In America, however, women favored the game. It has been an Olympic sport for men since 1908 and for women since 1980.
Modern ice hockey originated in Canada and dates back to 1860, It has been an Olympic sport since 1920; in fact, our own U.S.A team took the gold medal against the U.S.S.R in the 1980 winter Olympics.
Street Hockey has become popular most recently as a substitute for ice hockey due to limited facilities. Players wear "roller blades" and protective gear.
Hockey is a fast moving game that requires a lot of individual skill as well as a team effort. We gave designed our school street hockey rules with this as well as your safety in mind."
