Hockey as in Hockey that is in the Summer Olympics, like the IOC and the rest of the world calls it you yokels! http://www.olympic.org/sports

And while we're at it, the medal table is measured on amount of golds (the measure used by the rest of the world)- not total amount of medals (as measured by the USA)- that just gives an unfair advantage to countries entering a shitload of competitors coming in 2nd or 3rd rather than having the most actual winners.

and i'm pretty sure the total medal count is used, since you know, there are 3 different medals, not just to show off.

i'm sure many small and underrepresented countries use the total medal count because they dont get many medals.

They also call hockey the sport played by tens of millions on ice in the winter Olympics

Watching a match right now and its slow and boring and hardly physical

Hockey is a family of sports in which two teams play against each other by trying to maneuver a ball or a puck into the opponent's goal using a hockey stick. In many areas, one sport (typically field hockey or ice hockey[1]) is generally referred to simply as hockey.

Are you for real?

American retards, it's currently the SUMMER OLYMPICS. Do you seriously think people would be discussing ICE HOCKEY in a thread about the SUMMER OLYMPICS. You can safely assume that the kind of hockey discussed here is the kind of hockey that is being played.

if you're not good enough at somethings
then I s'pose you shouldn't be expecting medals, individually or nationally


so a peaceful celebration of difference will have to be enough.
