Wait until you hear about shinty.

Have you ever seen ice hockey? Okay well imagine that if it was on a field and if you made it into a really fast and violent contact sport.

Field hockey, yeah, I've heard of it. And there's no way a field hockey player is going to run as fast as an ice hockey player skates.

I'm interested and after work will look for video to better understand game action. But there's no way that shinty is "really fast" compared to ice hockey. Ice hockey players routinely move 15-20mph (~24-32km/h) and occasionally sprint upwards of 25mph (40km/h).
