You would think the hurlers would have the edge with their handling and distance shots with their stick and style of play, but the Scots kept right up with it. Amazing! (First time seeing an international like this one.)

The language is Irish Gaelic. The reason there's nobody at the game is because it's an exhibition game that is a hybrid of two sports, Hurling (Ireland) and Shinty (Scotland) that is played just once a year. An actual Hurling final can attract over 80,0000 spectators.
it is only compulsory in the republic, scots gaelic is actually far removed from some dialects of irish, e.g. Munster, it is very close to dialects in donegal and east ulster though due to it's routes in ulster
It's not, it's aired on TG4, the Irish speaking channel in Ireland. Gàidhlig (Scottish Highlands) and Gaeilge (Irish) sound almost identical anyway, just different spelling.

I like the fact that players aren't allowed to handle the ball as much.

Ice Hockey developed from Shinty.
it developed from both hurling and shinty if you read up on the history
The Irish army wasn't based in Kingston Ontario, so doubt it came from hurling.

Hurling and Hurley are, I read somewhere recently, two different sports.
