How do you descibe hurling to people who do not know the game?

"It's a mash up medieval warfare and every field sport you have ever seen."

I have also read this:

"Basically, take a field that’s 40 percent longer and about twice as wide as an American football field. Then put soccer nets on both ends of the field. Then build uprights over both nets. Then put 30 athletes (15 to a side) on the field wearing rugby uniforms and hockey helmets, and give each athlete a two- to three-foot-long wooden stick. Then put a small white ball on the field and tell the athletes to go at it."

What I have found gives most of my fellow Americans a rough idea is to describe it as "Aussie rules football played with an axe handle and a baseball."

Like a cross between field hockey and murder.

I'm here in Canada, and when I try describe it, I generally get met with... so it's kind of like field hockey? I've started explaining it as "it's kind of like field hockey meets lacrosse"
