And Danny, the answer to your question is that Great Britain didn't send a Hockey team to this year's olympics. There are qualifying rounds based on other international play and not every country sends a team.

Great Britain was a pretty strong presence in international hockey in the early 20th century but hasn't been as strong recently.

They still play a pretty mean game of football (soccer) though. ;)

Thanks Bart. :) What about the game of hockey not played on ice- grass hockey? Non-ice hockey? We had a great team one year and our main man was Shaun Curley? I remember GB being good at THAT... ;)
