Hockey

Hockey is a physical game packed with fast, intense action. There’s no time for hanging around – from the very first moment the players are going for goals.

10 nations will be participating in each of the Men’s and Women’s Hockey competitions at Glasgow 2014. In the preliminary rounds, teams will be split into two pools of five. The top two teams in each pool will progress to play off for the medals.'

The Hockey matches will take place at the new Glasgow Green Hockey Centre, which boasts two international-standard water-based pitches.

Venue: Glasgow National Hockey Centre [East End]

Watch out for: Australia has been the dominant force in Commonwealth Games Men’s Hockey, securing every title since its introduction in 1998. Watch out for challenges in both competitions from other medal-winning nations including Pakistan, England, India, New Zealand and Malaysia.
