How much do you know about the excitement of hockey?
The drag flick is one of the most spectacular methods used to score. The shooting player will crouch down next to the ball, carrying it forwards before slinging it at goal.
Watch out for a penalty flick, the most severe punishment in the sport, reserved for when a certain goal has been illegally prevented. Like a penalty in football, hockey's penalty flick becomes a one-on-one battle between the shooter and goalkeeper. Can you hold you nerve on the biggest stage?
Hockey is often characterised by penalty corners, one of the most noticeable aspects of the sport. The attacking side will outnumber the defence by almost double the numbers so strategy becomes vital in preventing a goal. The difference between a good and a great team can often be found in the quality of their penalty corner defence.
EuroHockey is an international competition at the highest end of the sport so Sky Tickets' offer could put you in the front row of a world-class occasion.
Both men and women are showcased, demonstrating how hockey is one of the most inclusive sports, and England will field a team in both categories. England ladies even have a match against the old enemy Germany to look forward to!
So what are you waiting for? EuroHockey begins this Friday. Get tickets here.
