Body checking.

[edit]

I've added a {{Fact}} template to the following sections: The European teams, knowing that they were less competitive than the North American teams, asked for bodychecking to be included.[3] For some reason, the Europeans failed to realize the fact that while European women learnt to play hockey by playing it among themselves, most North American players learnt to play hockey by playing it with young men. Consequently, North American players were much bigger than European players. This added to the alreaddy significant mismatch between the squads. I see no serious support for the following parts:

  • The European teams knew that they were less competitive than the North American teams (also this possibly is well-known)
  • Europeans women play mainly in female teams
  • American women play mainly in mixed teams
  • North American players are much bigger than European players
  • This is caused by the fact that American players play in mixed teams
  • Allowing bodychecking contributed to the mismatch between the squads

Most of this sounds like armchair expert lore to me. The article cites Malcolm G. Kelly "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Canadian Sports History and Trivia" p. 89, but that does not look like a WP:RS. --Stephan Schulz 13:10, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TSN just said that in the 2013 tournament televised coverage for 5 April 2013. They even interviewed players and the Canadian couch, who said largely that, so not just armchair experts. -- 65.92.180.137 (talk) 00:21, 6 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Qualification Tournament

[edit]

It appears that you put the disputed tag on the asian games section (I could be wrong) and it says to look to the talk page, but there is no discussion on it there. I have an internet source that disagrees with the presented information, I wish to change it, but was not sure if it already been discussed.18abruce (talk) 03:34, 7 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry. I speak russian. I don't speak English. See also history of Hockey Asia Cup [1]. The first match of the women's teams in China (1992), South Korea (1999), Hong Kong (2007), India (Association since 1989, April 27) took place later in 1990 [2] -PhoeniX- (talk) 19:32, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That is a link to field hockey information, so I am glad I disregarded.18abruce (talk) 22:37, 13 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
