So Field Hockey > as an answer was only off by about a month. Not exactly, as that tournament was postponed before it started, as I understand it. The junior ice hockey tournament for men played about two games per team before they gave up. By then two games had ended 1-0 because the losing teams had corona cases. IIHF had also scheduled to hold Junior World Championships for women, which would have taken place in two towns here in Sweden now in January. However, this tournament was called off before Christmas, resulting in some spiteful comments like "so are more infectious than the boys?" I have not heard any further comments after the fiasco with the men's tournament. |

In addition to Dan's note: I should know better. Many years ago, I was travelling in Argentina in January, and I picked up a local news paper. Looking at the results column in sport pages, I happened to notice a headline reading HOCKEY. They had the result from the semifinals in a Panamerican Cup or similar. I thought "why not", but I found it odd that USA and Canada played against each other already in the semifinals. Later, when seeing some girls play field hockey in a park in Tucumán, that the cup might not have been about ice hockey... (Where I come from, field hockey is something very exotic.) |
