A lot of people here saying it isn't a big sport, it's huge in the Highlands, there are 6 leagues for men and 4 for women. There are upwards of 20 cup competitions ranging from national to regional to annual rivalry games. There is also the district games where players are selected to represen one of 8 regions set into two groups of four ( North and South) who then play a North Vs South game. It's played in almost every school in the Highlands and can be seen all over the papers. Many games are also televised including the camanachd cup final which is an international club tournament.
JA macInnes The Highlands are so sparsely populated.The camanachd cup final would attract a similar crowd as a county hurling final.Hurling is played in areas with good agricultural land in total contrast to the situation with shinty. Hurling all ireland final attracts 82000 every year and that would possibly be the same for shinty if it was played in the central belt aswell as the highlands
I studied abroad at the University of Glasgow for four months and played shinty there. I’m looking to bring this back to my American university. Thanks for sharing!
Ninh explains the Rules of Shinty. A Scottish version of hockey played predominantly in the Highlands. I wasn't planning on doing this one, but a good Scottish friend of mine isn't feeling too good, so this is for her. Get well soon Pear-Pear! :)
something you yanks cant understand scots invented ice hockey the irish invented baseball........and b4 horse jockeys typos loose ther nut just cool d jets and research in wkipedia
There are clubs in England too, these being Cornwall shinty club, Camborne school of mines, London camanachd, Devon shinty, and Oxford shinty. They come under the organisation of the English shinty association. There also clubs in the USA and a club in russia.
Shinty is a lot like how Hurling was back when it was mostly played on the ground rather than holding the sliotar on the hurley like nowadays If you look at hurleys from the 20s you can see they are a lot like Shinty or ice hockey sticks
This sport looks like a batsh*t crazy version of field hockey and hurling combined! At least in the two other sport sport there is some head protection. I will now proceed to watch a few games and read up on the club leagues of this amazing game.
Hi Danny K. After watching this for a while, I actually prefer it to field hockey. And sometimes it can get crazy but largely it's a civilised sport. Not many leagues or clubs, the only one of note is the Camanachd Cup and the best team would be Newtonmore (the team in blue and white hoops). Hope that helps?
hi Daniel. Helmets are optional in senior mixed shinty but compulsory in youth and women's, and having seen someone get hit in the head, are a jolly good idea!
In the grander scheme of things 36k is really small, which is a shame. I'm surprised I'm not at least in the 100k bracket. But I appreciate the support Ant, means a lot! :)
I am amazed that my forefathers from the land of plaid have come up with this sport. It looks great but I fear the goaltenders are at a slight disadvantage. Besides no protective equipment the goal seems very large in proportion to the size of the ball...almost similar to bandy. Thanks again Ninh!!
I'm quite impressed by the first look of Shinty. Also surprised that it's not a globally popular sport outside of the highlands. Seems like a fun version of Field Hockey 🏑 minus the extra need for a turf. Playing on the grass with a ball and a stick; the Scottish knew exactly what's needed to make it fun. Cheers from Bangladesh 🇧🇩.
Its a tiny sport only played in the sparsely populated highlands with a population of a quarter of a million .It is the number 1 sport there,but scotland has a population of 5million.The championship game only gets 5000 max.Compare that to celtic or rangers who get 60,000 and scotlands rugby team who get 67000 fo 6 nation home games.
M dara I agree. I sat through a hurling match after watching one of Nynhs videos, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The only problem I had with it was the lack of contact, but overall I thought it was entertaining, and that's the main reason I watch and play sports. To be thoroughly entertained. Hurling delivered, but in my opinion, I think I'd enjoy shiny more if I was actually playing it.
They also have a bit of golf there. Probably Golf started as a bet between shinty players. "I bet a glass of whiskey I can hit that hole with me ball from herrre".
Where do you think the Canadians got that term from? Scottish players introducing ice hockey to Canada used to call it 'shinty on ice' - hence 'shinny'.
Scottish colonizers in Canada got the dangerous idea to play shinty on ice...........And invented Ice Hockey! Some drunken shinty players made a bet on some medieval tavern about who can hit a ball more accurately and invented Golf. We own a lot to Shinty.
This is the game that most closely resembles ice hockey in my opinion, and indeed, in Canada, if you ask someone if they want to a play a game of "shinny", you're asking them if they want to play some (ice) hockey. The rules and the pitch resemble hockey and its rink a lot, and both are contact sports, etc. Apparently, ice hockey was also derived from rugby, with tackling allowed, and originally, no forward passes being allowed either. Thanks for the vid, awesome stuff! I just wonder if that ball hurts?? :D
Believe it or not, when Ice Hockey was invented (by the Scottish), it was technically called 'Shinty on Ice' - the Canadianism 'Shinny' is from this game. And thanks!
Makes sense, and that's what I thought -- ice hockey had to come from shinty in some way... too many similarities (including shinty/shinny). Had also heard ice hockey was invented by the Scots in Canada. :) Awsome stuff, and thanks for all the useful info!
Hey Ninh if you want to continue doing more videos about hockey codes, how about doing a video on the 2 types of roller hockey? There's inline roller hockey which is pretty much ice hockey but on roller blades, and then there's quad roller hockey which is very different then inline roller hockey.
Yes, I'm aware that inline and roller hockey differs slightly - but unfortunately not enough demand for those videos right now. Maybe if I get a few more requests.
The classification of hockey is any sport in which two teams play against each other by trying to manoeuvre a ball or a puck into the opponent's goal using a stick. Shinty fits this category.
Ninh Ly if you look up a list of Hockey codes Shinty isn't one of them. Hockey derived from shinty/hurling so how can shinty be a sub-varient of Hockey.
By who's definition exactly? This is the problem I highlighted. Depending on your point of view, someone will always argue who invented what first. Try asking who invented football first. The English? The Irish? The Greeks? The Chinese? Valid arguments could be made for all four of those.
Hey, I love your vids, they are very informative, I know one sport that a lot of people over look, and that is paintball, a.k.a. speed ball, or airball. It is a great sport and has world cups. I think if you make a vid on it, it will get some recognition. Just a suggestion.
@@NinhLyUK im a little late but count me as an additional Paintball Requester, tho im more of a fan of Woodsball(UWL Rules) than Speedball but seeing a video like this for the aport would be great!
1500s texts refer to hurling as hokie at the hurling........ And hurling has two versions a wide stick version and a narrow stick version.... Shinty and hockey comes from the narrow stick version.
Can you do Ninh explains Brazilian Jiu Jutsu? I'm still not that clear on it. Great videos though, just found out about you today and am loving the videos
This Sport Is Field Hockey And Football Combined. It’s A Very Good Sport Though. Fun Fact, This Sport Was The Sport Based On Ice Hockey, As Ice Hockey Was Once Called Shinty On Ice.
It seems much more fun than field hockey. I had to play field hockey in school and it seemed as if everything was a foul and the game was always stopping. The fact that you can make contact with the other players and use both sides of the stick is the best for me.
I mean there are things that are not very clear like why there is a many racers around each other and why they don't try to get to the 1st place plus those other trials that change the outcome sometimes.
Like hurling they can also travel with the ball on the stick or bouncing the ball on the stick.However its not a key feature the way it is in hurling,but you do see it occasionly
You were right to gloss over it not a big feature of the game .So i thought i would mention it because it might be of interest to some irish hurling people.
From my observation, shinty shares a lot of features with association football (or shortly football) while hurling shares features with Gaelic football.
Misha Geleneva Hurling and Gaelic football are run by the same body The gaelic Athletic association so the rules are kept as close as possible to allow a club to play both. Hurling and gaelic football are often played a half an hour after the other game has been played.
:-) like it! Way better than our fieldhockey in Germany, where you´re not allowed to take a real swing with the stick. Pretty tough one too: 2:25 ufffff poor Nr.11 ;-)
It's a bit lighter than a baseball. Not sure what it's comparable to but it certainly hurts when you get hit with one - you wouldn't want to take it to the face if you had a choice. They're usually made of cork, tightly wrapped in twine/string and a leather outer.
That's actually a bone of contention between the two countries ... which one was invented first? Nobody really knows. Incidentally, I was in Drumnadrochit last week and saw a Shinty game there. Pretty epic stuff!
our game pre dates the pyramds FACT it twas a warrior sport to sharpen skills during battles transmroph afew hundred years ahead both our now distintive styles evovled we run catch kick swing hurley in shinty no using of feet or hands.........both are renshrined in celtic folklore w
Ninh, have you heard of the martial arts sport Arnis from the Philippines? Also do you consider e-sports, mainly League of Legends worthy to do a rules video?
Will you please do a video on 14.1 pool. It used to be the go to pool tournament game until 9 ball took over. You can see it in "The Hustler" Staring Paul Newman. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, and I'm a sub.
Being in front of the stick while the player is swinging to score a goal sounds kind of dangerous. Those sticks look like it can rearrange someone's face. Of course, the job of a good defense is to prevent the attacking team from scoring, but you would think they would put rules in place to protect defenders from getting slapped in the face, like a 5 yard rule in the opponents attacking area. I assume it's a limited contact sport (have to do my own research on that because I think I missed something), but other than that it sounds like fun game to play. I don't know if I'd watch it, but after seeing the clips, it definitely looks better than field hockey.
What kind of ball is it? Similar to a baseball? Cricket ball? Field hockey ball? Hurling ball? Not many players are wearing headgear, so it makes me think it's on the softer side.
I bet the players have a lot of bruices and broken fingers. Swinging those sticks aroud with no protective equipment looks hella dangerous.. Cool sport tho nonetheless
Bone of contention - Canadians will argue that the game was developed in Canada, but it was being played by the Scottish before that. They called it 'Shinty on ice' which is where Canadians get the term 'shinny' from. But in short - yes, ice hockey is derived from shinty.

The BBC Scotland will sometimes stream games on iPlayer.

No "head protection"? The goalie is wearing a hat!

Thanks Ant. Believe it or not, I ask myself that all the time. I think the lack of sharing probably has something to do with it.

Is it possible to play this sport left handed?
Yes it is. You have to be proficient swinging the stick both ways.
And yeah, it's pretty cool to watch.
Damn I’m Scottish myself and I didn’t even know this was a thing until now!
@Seán Ó Laocha yep lmao 😂

From my observation, shinty shares a lot of features with association football (or shortly football) while hurling shares features with Gaelic football.
Kind of yeah.
Gaelic Football and Hurling are virtually the same game played differently, so I guess it's a fair analogy.

Never really been asked for that one. I'll make it if there's enough demand for sure.
:-) like it! Way better than our fieldhockey in Germany, where you´re not allowed to take a real swing with the stick. Pretty tough one too: 2:25 ufffff poor Nr.11 ;-)
Yep, you have to be pretty brave to be able to take a stick to the face like that.
Nice vid
Thanks brother!
That game looks deadly it's like ground hurling from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪
That basically what it is ,
Do you think you could make a video on the rules of Stock Car Racing?
I had considered that - but the rules seemingly change every year?!
Do you think you could go over the basics? Like laps, differences in track length, different types of tracks, common penalties and pit stops
You could even discuss how the rules are constantly changing to accommodate the new models of cars and the new styles of racing drivers use 😊😊
Since the Olympics are going on could you explain like some sports such as luge and Skeleton
Oooh, good one. I've not really considered winter sports, but with a bit more demand, I just might. Thanks.
What is the ball like (weight, materials, hardness)? Seems like even the goalie is not wearing much protection, so it must be fairly light.
It's similar to a baseball, but smaller and with raised seams.
It's a bit lighter than a baseball. Not sure what it's comparable to but it certainly hurts when you get hit with one - you wouldn't want to take it to the face if you had a choice. They're usually made of cork, tightly wrapped in twine/string and a leather outer.
Could you make a cideo on the sport Keirin
The cycling? I might do if there's enough demand.

Yep!
what the background music called?
I think it's ‘Rolling with the Goblins’ by Celtica Pipes Rock.
Nice Sir💪
Plz Sir Make Videos on Karate, Judo, Martial Arts etc Thanxxxc
other than Scotland which are all the countries where this game is popular?
Scotland is pretty much it. And it's barely played there. You'll find a few clubs dotted around the world, but they are few and far between.
Is there any media coverage to watch games ?
how do you have to defend the goal like that?
With great difficulty.
Shinty is the father of football (aka soccer), golf, ice hockey and Bandy. We’ve got a lot to thank shinty for.
Some people would argue that, yes.
Could players lift and strike the ball, like in hurling just without handling it?
Absolutely, yes!
Ninh Ly cool:)
Looks like a cross between field hockey and hurling
Kind of, yeah.
Being in front of the stick while the player is swinging to score a goal sounds kind of dangerous. Those sticks look like it can rearrange someone's face. Of course, the job of a good defense is to prevent the attacking team from scoring, but you would think they would put rules in place to protect defenders from getting slapped in the face, like a 5 yard rule in the opponents attacking area. I assume it's a limited contact sport (have to do my own research on that because I think I missed something), but other than that it sounds like fun game to play. I don't know if I'd watch it, but after seeing the clips, it definitely looks better than field hockey.
It's pretty much aerial field hockey and you can use both sides of the stick. Goalies get a raw deal though.
+Ninh Ly helmets are optional in senior mixed shinty but compulsory in youth and women's :)
I'd say a hurler would get pretty confused playing this. There used to be an Scotland vs Ireland game each year combining Hurling and Shinty
There still is - look up Shinty Hurling international - it's played every year.
Looks like a combo of field hockey and hurling
Kind of, yeah.
What kind of ball is it? Similar to a baseball? Cricket ball? Field hockey ball? Hurling ball? Not many players are wearing headgear, so it makes me think it's on the softer side.
It's very similar to a hurling ball (which kinda looks like a baseball) with raised seams.
@@NinhLyUK Cool, thanks!
Ninh, why do you keep using Street Fighter music in your vids?
They seem to go well with the videos. And royalty free.
Do you play Street Fighter yourself?
I bet the players have a lot of bruices and broken fingers. Swinging those sticks aroud with no protective equipment looks hella dangerous.. Cool sport tho nonetheless
Yes, it can be a dangerous sport for sure. And thanks! :)
The BBC condecending decribe it in a old Pathé film, "its like hockey disregarding all safety measures".
I’ve once seen a player play on with a partial deglovement on one of his fingers. (Was in a camanachd cup final can’t remember what year though)
Why no more vids?
Been busy bro, will be making some more shortly.
When are you going to make another self-help video. I miss them.
Changing format on my channel dude - I now have three channels. I will be re-uploading all my self help stuff on a different channel.
Sounds like field hockey and soccer
Pretty much, yeah.
with a hint of hurling
Is this 'violent' form of Field Hockey?
Could you do the rules of the Scottish Games
The Highland Games? Possibly!
It's combined with Soccer/football and hockey
Yeah, I pretty much said that in the video (I think).
What is the song in the video
'Rolling with the Goblins’ by Celtica Pipes Rock
Are the majority of the sports you review played prifessionally?
Most of them, yeah.

Does that ball not hurt?
Is this where Ice Hockey developed from in Kingston, Canada?
Bone of contention - Canadians will argue that the game was developed in Canada, but it was being played by the Scottish before that. They called it 'Shinty on ice' which is where Canadians get the term 'shinny' from.
But in short - yes, ice hockey is derived from shinty.
i have a feeling a field hockey and shinty difference video is coming up.
Nah, the differences are fairly obvious.
in the past field hockey was played on grass.
In many parts of the world (including my former schools) it still is played on grass.
there is a hurling v shinty match played by irish and scottish teams sort of like international rules football but those codes are more similar
there are some sports that i would like to see compete like korfball v netball
