Apart from the player who is making the pass, all other players must be in their defensive half. The team which conceded the goal gains possession of the ball for the restart. Just like most sports, the team that scores the most goals by the end of the match is declared the winner.

We'll not look to bore you with the intricate details so we've singled out the 10 crucial rules you have to know to kick start your field hockey journey. How many players and teams are there on a hockey field? Are you allowed to kick the ball? How high can you swing your hockey stick? How many people are allowed to challenge for a ball?
How many sides of the hockey stick are you allowed to use? Is tackling allowed in hockey? The other team will still have five 5 skaters and is on what called the power play, and is an excellent chance to be able to score. The team that is shorthanded with less than 5 players can take another player and drop to three 3 players on the ice, but no team can have less than 3 players not including the goalie.
During the regular season, if a game is tied at the end of three periods, the game will go to overtime. The overtime is 5 minutes of additional play that is added onto the game, and if no one scores then the game is decided by shootout. The NHL wants to limit the number of games that go to a shootout, so they play overtime 3-on-3 with goalies. When hockey is played at 3-on-3 the game is more wide-open, and there are more scoring chances.
It can be extremely exciting to watch. There are many nuances that incorporate overtime that you can learn about. If a team takes a penalty while in overtime, the game is not played at 3-on Instead, when the play resumes a team will get a 4-on-3 power play.

As you watch a hockey game you will see players constantly changing on and off the ice with each other while the game is still being played. The continuous action is one of the great things about hockey. If a team gets caught having to many players on the ice — for instance, 6 when they should only have 5 — they will be assessed a 2 minute minor penalty for too many men on the ice.
The coach gets to pick any player from the team to serve the penalty, but they will be shorthanded for the next 2 minutes of play. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

A field hockey match consists of two halves, usually 35 minutes each, and begins with a pass back a non-defended pass from one teammate to another at mid-field. There are 11 players to a side, one of whom is a goalkeeper.
The object of the game is to score more goals than the opposition. Each goal is worth one point. The ball can only be touched with the flat side of the curved, hardwood stick.
Unique to field hockey is the obstruction rule. In virtually every other sport, shielding the ball with one's body is an integral part of game strategy. However, this is not allowed in field hockey.
All players have an equal chance to gain control of the ball as it is dribbled or passed down the field. Other infractions include advancing other than the goalkeeper, no player may play the ball with any part of the body , dangerous use of the stick and hitting the ball in a manner that could lead to dangerous play.
For a breach of rules, an umpire may award a free hit, penalty corner or penalty stroke. A majority of scoring opportunities in each match comes from penalty corners. Two umpires on the field officiate the match. An additional umpire may sit at the scorer's table. Players may not shield the ball using their body or stick.
