“I know China very well, President Xi is a friend of mine, I know him very well…The first thing they’re going to do is say you are not allowed to play ice hockey anymore. That’s not good. Canada’s not going to like that,” the president added.

      I’m confused. “Ice hockey” is what I’ve always called it too.

              If I say I played hockey yesterday, you wouldn’t think I played it on grass would you?

                I’d ask, “Ice hockey or field hockey?” because there’s no way to tell until you specify.

                  Canadian here, I’ve never once met someone refer to field hockey as hockey. Actually I don’t know if I’ve ever heard someone mention field hockey at all, lol

                  As a Canadian I have only once had the experience of someone talking about playing field hockey. Going on 30 something years.

                  Hockey is ice hockey, I might be surprised about which league you were talking about.
