Of course. Field Hockey is a big sport (not as big as cricket) and has decent following in Europe (quite popular in Germany and Netherlands) as well as the second biggest in the subcontinent(also the sport where India and Pakistan have been most successful other than cricket). I`m pretty sure the Aussies and the Kiwis play a reasonable amount of hockey and so do the Spanish and South Africans.

You might not be aware of all this though as you are from the USA.

Yea field hockey is unheard of here. Its mostly played by girls in middle school. Wish I could get it on TV, want to see how the men play it.

This is what I found on the FIH website:

Hope it is useful. Looks like the least you could do is watch the highlights free via WorldHockey.org or handpick a few games like the Semis or Finals and watch it online. Believe me, it is a really fast-paced sport. For skill hockey, try and watch India-Pakistan play. The subcontinental style of hockey is very different to the European style although the artistry and dribbling don`t get us the results against the fitter and faster Europeans.

Just try to get hold of a stream for the India-Pakistan game tonight (20:35 IST). That should be real fun.

aditya123 added 8 Minutes and 12 Seconds later...

Ten Sports showed that Compaq Cup tri-series free on their website. They could surely have done something like that and streamed a few matches from this WC for free, at least for users from the US/Canada.
