If you live in Europe, you can usually start playing field hockey at your primary school (grades kindergarten and up.) I don't live in Europe, so I will let someone else elaborate on that.

If you live in the USA (where I live), field hockey usually starts at the middle school/junior high level (grades 7-8). Depending on where you live, you can sometimes play as a recreational, "fun" kind of thing at a rec center or go to camps hosted by your local middle/high school. This is usually more common on the east coast and in California.

Once you begin playing more seriously, you can join a club. There can be any number of clubs in your area. With your club team, you play with others from all around your area, and you go to tournaments such as the Disney Field Hockey Showcase for U16 and U19 teams, held in February (there is also a Jr. Showcase held in July for U14), and National Field Hockey Festival (held over Thanksgiving, in November.)

The best college hockey player was Tommy Ross from Michigan State. The Michigan born forward was fast, small and agile. He played for MSU from 73-77 and all Division 1 hockey scoring records. Unfortunately his small stature did not help his quest for the NHL. Tommy currently resides in the Detroit area where he coaches in a youth hockey program. Unless you're talking about goalies in which hands down Ken Dryden holds the title. In fact Dryden was probably better than Ross period, since Cornell only lost 4 times (twice in the frozen four) in the three years he started for Cornell and never finished lower than 3rd in the country. Also you could say Hobey Baker, but its probably Dryden.

An NHL team gets 2 points for a win, 0 points for a loss, and 1 point for an overtime loss.

Mask, swim fins, snorkel and protective head gear such as that worn in water polo. The head gear also has protection for the ears. Players also wear a special made glove during game play. Oh and yes - a swimsuit. And yes guys, Speedos are usually required.

At my school two years ago, 75% of the entire team had repeated a grade. It simply allows for the player and team to be bigger faster and stronger. But overall the number is lower, but if I had to give a percentage, I would say around 50%.

A large majority of them are. But it is not uncommon to have a 18 year old freshman.

Technically, yes. In leagues like the USHL most of their things are free, such as lving expenses. In leagues like the Atlantic Junior Hockey League, it is about $5,500 plus $2,000 travel costs to play out of pocket.

yes

3 20 minute periods

(number of wins) / (total number of games) = winning percentage. It is typically represented by three decimal places.

For example, if a team is 8-3, they have 8 wins in 11 (8+3) games. 8 / 11 = .727

I think that the University of Michigan has the most NCAA championships

Tell them that's it a good exercise, its healthy, you'll be getting some fresh air, and you won't be stuck at home sitting on the couch watching tv or playing video games

Good body coordination, upper- and mid-body strength, aerobic and anaerobic fitness, speed, and commitment are what I would look for. Good reflexes and spatial awareness are also quite important to have.
