Sharing an observation (from KiwizIQ quiz answer): ‘faire du hockey’, not ‘faire de l’hockey’ so an exception to the silent ‘h’ rule. I accept it (it sounds better; perhaps ‘hockey’ being a foreign word is relevant?).

Fairs du hockey
This question relates to:French lesson "Faire de/jouer à : talking about sports, hobbies and leisure activities in French"

Hi Charles,
Le hockey is an H aspiré ( and not muet). This means that it works like a consonant and you won't have an elision or liaison. This is true of many foreign imported words like -
le hamburger, le haddock, le hijab, le hot-dog etc.
Bonne Continuation !
