McGrath of Harlow,

I believe that Hockey has been called "Ice Hockey" in many parts of the U.S. too. This is probably changing due to the large number of Professional teams that have started in areas of the U.S. that up until recently had little or no knowledge of the game.

And you're right. At least here in Canada we refer to the other game (which is very rare here) as Field Hockey.

Go Leafs Go.
