Correction. We have a Hockey team here; the thing is it is not as prominent as a basketball or a volleyball team.
The snag can be of several reasons:
1. Selected/Limited place for practice or competition.
2. Unlike ice skating, hockey is a bit expensive sport as it requires additional gadget and some other stuff relating to sports.
3. Not popular, maybe because of location/geography, climate, etc. Even in the US, hockey is not popular in some states. It may be big time in Minnesota, but people of Alabama find it boring.
Just my thoughts.
