hockeys
- 1Plural of hockey. Rare; used mostly for different kinds of hockey.
Field, ice, and street hockeys all trace back to early stick-and-ball games.
Sports historians often compare the regional hockeys that developed across Europe and Asia.
Note
A plural the sports themselves rarely need. As the name of a game, hockey is a mass noun: you play hockey, not a hockey. The plural appears only when field, ice and street varieties are counted as separate games. It also serves the countable uses, where hockey is a dated spelling of oche or a variant of hawkey, the harvest supper. There, hockeys simply means more than one.
