Field hockey is dominantly a women's sport although many men around the world do play it. And ice hockey started as a men's sport but it has become men's or women's.

Tell ya what. Watch a field hockey game, and then announce to the women that its a girlie sport. I guarantee while they are beat you senseless with those sticks you won't be thinking it.
They play just as hard, and if not more aggressively than guys do.
In this day and age, there is no sport that is just for one gender. Ice hockey may have been the domain of men, but womens' hockey is just as exciting.

Traditionally, yes, field hockey is the domain of women and girls. Somewhat similar to field hockey, but played mostly by men and boys is lacrosse. On college campuses in the United States, you often see field hockey and lacrosse teams sharing the same pitches for practice.
Ice hockey is traditionally a men's sport, but it is not exclusive: the first woman in the NHL to play was Manon Rhéaume in 1992.

whoever says that field hockey is a girls sport would be terribly sorry if they ever met me. i am a girl and i play field hockey. guys can play it to, but a lot of them don't because when girls play they wear skirts and so guys don't want to play but the can and they would wear shorts. girls can also play ice hockey but a lot of them don't because its not all that popular i mean hockey in general. to answer you question its niether a girls nor guys sport because they can all play. its kinda like saying being smart is only for people who be somebody in life, everyone can be somebody, but if they want to be is a different story

It's played by both men and women at all levels including the Olympics, though it is more popular with women than men.

NOT ALWAYS!
it Europe, it is both men and women.
But in the US, high school and college teams are just women.
