There's a dialect difference on the name of this game. In North America, the game played on ice is simply "hockey" and the related game played on grass is "field hockey". Various other parts of the English-speaking world call the game played on grass "hockey" and the one on ice "ice hockey".

A similar problem turns up with [[football]]; text there might be a model for how to deal with it. [[User:Sandy Harris|Sandy Harris]] 02:25, 27 May 2010 (UTC) | |||

Various other parts of the English-speaking world call the game played on grass "hockey" and the one on ice "ice hockey". As a Canadian, I of course want to move this article to "hockey"; the term "ice hockey" strikes me as an abomination.
I'm not sure what CZ should do about this. Perhaps "hockey" needs to be a disambiguation page?
