What Are Some Diffrences Between Hockey And Lacrosse?
83301
Both sports move fast, but lacrosse uses a hard rubber ball and you throw and catch with a stick that has a small basket at the top. Similar to hockey, the goal is to score more goals than your opponent. \n\nLacrosse also uses 10 players (nine position players and a goalie) where hockey uses six (five position players and a goalie). \n\nA final score of a lacrosse game is usually much higher than a hockey score, typically running into double digits (e.g. 14-11).\n\nHope this helps!

ICE HOCKEY IS A MANLY GAME LIKE FOOTBALL. CRICKET IS KINDA GIRLISH ONE. ITS NO DOUBT THAT ONE HAS MORE FASHINATION TOWARDS ICE-HOCKEY OR AMERICAN FOOTBALL OR RUGBY THAN CRICKET. I GUESS INDIA DOESNT HAVE ENOUGH INFRASTRUCTURE FOR EXCITING GAMES LIKE THOSE SO THEY ARE MORE INTO CRICKET.\nANYWAY INDIANS OUTSIDE INDIA, WHO UNDERSTANDS THE MANLY CHARM OF THOSE GAMES, DEFINETLY ARE ALSO CRAZY ABOUT THEM.

The sport was invented by Native North Americans. Its name was dehuntshigwa'es in Onondaga ("men hit a rounded object"), da-nah-wah'uwsdi in Eastern Cherokee ("little war"), Tewaarathon in Mohawk language ("little brother of war"), and baaga'adowe in Ojibwe "bump hips". The game was named lacrosse by early French observers.

Hockey!  blood blood blood!  And the speed and agility on skates is much more fun to watch.\n\nLacrosse is cool too, I guess

The action in the sport. Baseball can be boring, football is too much like being raped in jail, hockey is for aggressive criminals, and boxing is for people who don't mind getting their asses kicked. Basketball is interesting and if played correctly won't cause pain. If feels good to hit a jumpshot. If feels even better to dunk the ball and crossover someone.

There are a few things that make a sport exciting:\n\n1.  High speed. \n2. Continuous action and movement.\n3. Physical contact.\n4. High skill level.\n5. Visibility of the athlete in play.\n\nFootball (Canada and the US) has 1, 3, and 4.\nFootball (world game) and basketball have 1, 2, 4, and 5.\nBaseball has 4 and 5.\nTennis has 1, 4 and 5.\nAuto racing has 1, 2, 3, and 4.\n\nAnd so on.  But only three sports have all five attributes: hockey, lacrosse and rugby.  \n\nHockey is better than lacrosse and rugby because of skating.  In every other sport, if you stop moving your feet, you stop moving.  That doesn't apply to hockey.\n\nHockey has one other attribute that NOT ONE other team sport has: substitution during play.  (Well, box lacrosse does as well, but not field lacrosse.)\n\nEven in football (soccer), players cannot enter the field without the referee's permission, and they don't allow it while the ball is moving.  You could play 60 minutes of hockey with the only stoppages in play being the end of the first and end of the second periods.

Ever heard of Google? Type 'Lacrosse' and you'll find:\n\nBRIEF HISTORY\nWith a history that spans centuries, lacrosse is the oldest sport in North America. Rooted in Native American religion, lacrosse was often played to resolve conflicts, heal the sick, and develop strong, virile men. To Native Americans, lacrosse is still referred to as "The Creator's Game." \n\nIronically, lacrosse also served as a preparation for war. Legend tells of as many as 1,000 players per side, from the same or different tribes, who took turns engaging in a violent contest. Contestants played on a field from one to 15 miles in length, and games sometimes lasted for days. Some tribes used a single pole, tree or rock for a goal, while other tribes had two goalposts through which the ball had to pass. Balls were made out of wood, deerskin, baked clay or stone.\n\nThe evolution of the Native American game into modern lacrosse began in 1636 when Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit missionary, documented a Huron contest in what is now southeast Ontario, Canada. At that time, some type of lacrosse was played by at least 48 Native American tribes scattered throughout what is now southern Canada and all parts of the United States. French pioneers began playing the game avidly in the 1800s. Canadian dentist W. George Beers standardized the game in 1867 with the adoption of set field dimensions, limits to the number of players per team and other basic rules.\n\nNew York University fielded the nation's first college team in 1877, and Philips Academy, Andover (Massachusetts), Philips Exeter Academy (New Hampshire) and the Lawrenceville School (New Jersey) were the nation's first high school teams in 1882. There are 400 college and 1,200 high school men's lacrosse teams from coast to coast.\n\nThe first women's lacrosse game was played in 1890 at the St. Leonard's School in Scotland. Although an attempt was made to start women's lacrosse at Sweet Briar College in Virginia in 1914, it was not until 1926 that Miss Rosabelle Sinclair established the first women's lacrosse team in the United States at the Bryn Mawr School in Baltimore, Maryland.\n\nMen's and women's lacrosse were played under virtually the same rules, with no protective equipment, until the mid-1930s. At that time, men's lacrosse began evolving dramatically, while women's lacrosse continued to remain true to the game's original rules. Men's and women's lacrosse remain derivations of the same game today, but are played under different rules. Women's rules limit stick contact, prohibit body contact and, therefore, require little protective equipment. Men's lacrosse rules allow some degree of stick and body contact, although violence is neither condoned nor allowed.\n\nField lacrosse is sometimes perceived to be a violent and dangerous game, however, injury statistics prove otherwise. While serious injuries can and do occur in lacrosse, the game has evolved with an emphasis on safety, and the rate of injury is comparatively low. Ensuring the safety of participants is a major focus for US Lacrosse and its Sports Science and Safety Committee, which researches injury data in the sport and makes recommendations to make the game as safe as practicable.

-Lacrosse is a team sport that is played by ten players (men) or twelve players (women), each of whom uses a netted stick (the crosse) in order to pass and catch a very hard rubber ball with the aim of scoring goals, each worth one point, by propelling the ball into the opponent's goal. The team scoring the most points after four "quarters", of varying length from competition to competition, and overtime if necessary, wins\n\n\n\n-Outdoor men's lacrosse involves two teams of 10 players each competing to project a small ball of solid rubber into the opposing team's goal. The field of play is 110 yards (100 m) long and 60 yards (54 m) wide. The goals are 6 feet (1.8 m) by 6 feet and contain a mesh netting similar to an ice hockey goal. The goal sits inside a circular "crease", measuring 18 feet (5.5 m) in diameter.\n\nPlayers line up with 3 offensive players called "attackmen"(The players who shoot on the opposing team's net), 3 "midfielders" or "middies"(The players who shoot on the opposing team's net and also defend their own net), 3 "defensemen"(The players who guard their own team's net), and 1 designated goaltender, or "goalie"(The player that stands inside the "crease" and blocks shots from coming in, like in hockey). Each player carries a stick (the French settlers, upon seeing the Native Americans using the stick, called it la cross (the crosier); hence the cool name "Lacrosse"). Lacrosse sticks may measure between 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) and 42 inches (106.68 centimeters) long (a "short crosse"), or 52 inches (132.08 centimeters) to 72 (182.88 centimeters) long (a "long crosse"). The designated goalkeeper is allowed to have a stick from 40 inches (101.6 centimeters) to 72 inches (182.88 centimeters) long. The head of the crosse on both long and short crosses must be larger than 6 inches at its widest point and it must also be 2.5 inches wide or wider at its narrowest point. The head of a goaltender's crosse may measure up to 15 inches (38.1 centimeters) wide. Although most of the time attackmen and midfielders use short crosses, defensemen, along with one midfielder when his team is on defense, carry long crosses, some teams choose to distribute their sticks differently; this is not uncommon because a team may only have 4 long crosses on the field during live play, excluding the benches and penalty boxes. Most modern sticks have a metal shaft, made usually of aluminum or titanium, while the head is made of hard plastic. Metal shafts must have a plastic or a more popular rubber cap or ("butt") at the end, and it must be adequately taped to avoid injury although some butts are capable of staying on without tape. The heads are strung with string and leather or mesh. This forms a net of whatever material was used in stringing the stick called the "pocket".[2]\n\nGoaltender's sticks vary in length but are typically between 42 inches (1.27 m) and 60 inches (1.52 m) long, and their heads are significantly larger than field players' heads to help in blocking shots. Goalies at the youth levels commonly use short crosses because they are not capable of handling the true goalie crosse.\n\nPlayers scoop the ball off the ground and pass the ball through the air to other players. Players are allowed to run carrying the ball with their stick. Unlike in women's lacrosse, players may kick the ball, as well as covering it with their sticks, provided they do not withhold it from play. Play is typically quite fast. Considerably more goals are scored than in soccer or hockey, with typical games totaling ten to twenty goals.

I like hockey because it is a fast paced game. NBA started to bore me to death. Since hockey was going on at the same time, i started to watch it. I picked up on the rules/strategies really easily.

If I had to guess, I'd say lacrosse--I see it popping up in high schools in unusual places, which feed into college programs (men's AND women's), which feed into....?  No way to prove it--just a hunch...
