The Welsh Hockey Union (WHU) is the Governing Body of Sport for all
Hockey, both outdoor and indoor, played within Wales and by Welsh Hockey
Clubs where so ever they may be playing.
In some countries around the World, "Hockey" is referred to as
"Field Hockey". "Hockey" as defined here
includes "Field Hockey" but does not include "Ice
Hockey", "Roller Hockey", "Street Hockey", "Rink
Hockey", "Inline Hockey", "Underwater Hockey (Octopush)", etc.
The Web Site is
subject to continuous development, this includes updating.
