What is the meaning of Puchakki

Puchakki is derived from the Mongolian language and is a traditional Mongolian game. The game is similar to field hockey and ice hockey, but uses a wooden or polished cow skull as the ball. Each of the two teams uses a wooden stick with a bend in it to send the cow skull into the opponent's golmen (similar to a soccer goal). The game lasts for 15 minutes and the team with the highest score wins. Puchakki is not only a sport but also a traditional culture, which is enjoyed by Mongolian men, women and children, for whom Puchakki is a way to entertain, exercise and increase interpersonal communication.
