I am sure somebody on here plays shinty. How feasible would it be to go about making a caman out of a hockey stick?

Field hockey or ice hockey?

Just a thought... why not simply wait a couple of weeks and buy the genuine article once you get to Ireland? Sure, they won't be as common as Hurley Sticks, but you should be able to find one.

You should also check out the Annual Scotland v. Ireland Hurling/Shinty Matches. Great fun. Dates and details here: http://www.shinty.com/news/shintys-key-dates-in-2014/

The Ferry from NI to Scotland is a snap. Long weekend trips are easy. Details here: http://www.directferries.co.uk/ferries_from_scotland_to_northern_ireland.htm

Good luck with your move. You'll love the experience.
