Question

Why do the hockey pitches seen to have water on them, whats its purpose?

Answer 1

This is a field hockey question. And they wet the field because the ball is supposed to be easier to hit and move  when the field is a little wet.

Answer 2

A "pitch" refers to the playing ground, or surface; our American friends might use the term "field".

Artificial pitches are watered so the ball will move easier.

Answer 3

There are no pitches in hockey.  In baseball, yes.  In football, you can say that a quarterback tossing a lateral to a player could be said to be "pitching" the ball.  In basketball, there was a great early player named Paul Arizin whose passing earned him the nickname Pitchin' Paul.  But there are no pitches in hockey.
