I'm not sure about others countries, but in Russia ice hockey is much more popular than field hockey
Did you know that, historically, ice hockey wasn't really a thing in Russia/the Soviet Union, but that Russians tended to play bandy instead? I find this fascinating, considering the relative status of the sports now. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandy.

Hockey is typically considered to be played on the ice in the US. You would havrx to specify field hockey, unless it was already understood through context
