Ok, maybe I should clarify that in some parts of the world, "hockey" refers to "field hockey".

Sometimes the locals spell it Soo. French is ok even here, right? The Sioux were farther west, I think. ...having (grown up) somewhere within their former homeland...i thought it was so with a long "O" at first.
