Hey, had I been in Sweden, Canada or Argentina I would not have
been asking myself "what sort of hockey is he talking about". Now,
it has been clarified that it was field hockey, and since I come
from the ice camp, I don't have a clue.

Eleven metres. (In German they call it Elfmeter, plain and simple).

If my undestanding of the answer is correct, I have a followup question:
which British rock band recorded a song about this woman?

Actually, it occurred to me after that I made my post that there are
(at least) two bands who have sung about this women. The one you quote
is the one I initially overlooked.
