Indians play hockey? News to me. Where does it get cold enough for ponds to freeze? (I know you can make ice, but most countries that play hockey have done so before the tech existed. I am led to assume this is new in India?)

i don't know your intentions ........but why we need ice for field hokey.... it is our national sport and from 1928 to 1956 Indian won six straight Olympic gold medals, and won 24 consecutive matches.

Or the other way round that ice hockey came from field hockey.

In Egypt, 4000-year-old carvings feature teams with sticks and a projectile, hurling dates to before 1272 BC in Ireland, and there is a depiction from c.600 BC in Ancient Greece where the game may have been called kerētízein or kerhtízein (κερητίζει&#957 because it was played with a horn or horn-like stick(kéras, κέρα&#962[3] In Inner Mongolia, China, the Daur people have been playing beikou, a game similar to modern field hockey, for about 1,000 years.
