Maybe hockey?

Yes, I would expect hockey to have survived, possibly even widely.
But then, I'm Canadian...

And the nations of the world include Finland and Sweden, so yes. And living on islands they have ice nearby anyways. Plus winter is the safer season for sports, and less busy with farming.

Just to clarify, me and Buteo mean ice hockey :)

It didn't even occur to me that there might be other types of hockey than ice hockey!  I had to look that up.  Apparently in most of the world "hockey" is field hockey, which I guess makes sense if ice isn't easily available.

I agree though, it does seem like hockey in some form would have survived, I think everyone likes hitting things with sticks.

In Finnish the term is “maahockey” i.e. land hockey. Ice hockey on the other hand is called jääkiekko, “ice pug” analogous to football. I have been aware of field hockey for a long time but still hockey = ice hockey for me :)

Oh, look what I found: Sports in Y90 :o

I think I should put it here just for the sake of completion since it´s about the same topic, but it´s really old and doesn´t have a lot of replies, so merging it might be a little pointless. Nevertheless.
