Never heard of boots hockey. I guess it is someone's translation of hockey bottines.
Also never ever heard of soccer hockey. When I read it I thought of a big soccer ball.
But with a tennis ball (or that size) I think it is called ball hockey in English.

The dynamics are actually closer to soccer than ice hockey, IMO. I've played all three for years. Sure, you use a stick rather than your feet, but the fact there's no momentum management make the game functionally much more like soccer. You can stop, turn, accelerate, position yourself, etc. exactly like in soccer.
All things considered, I prefer both soccer and this "soccer hockey" to ice hockey, I'd say. I suppose I'll have to turn in my Canadian card  |
