What are the rules of hockey

Hockey is a team sport played on a field or ice rink with a stick and a ball or puck. The object of the game is to score more goals than the opposing team by hitting the ball or puck into the other team's net.

Field hockey is played on a grass or artificial turf field with a ball. Each team has 11 players on the field, and the game is played in two halves of 35 minutes each. Players use sticks to hit the ball and pass it to teammates. The ball can be hit in the air or on the ground, and players can also use their sticks to tackle opponents.

Ice hockey is played on an ice rink with a puck. Each team has six players on the ice, and the game is played in three periods of 20 minutes each. Players use sticks to hit the puck and pass it to teammates. The puck can be shot or passed, and players can also use their sticks to check opponents.

Here are some of the basic rules of hockey:

Players cannot use their hands or feet to touch the ball or puck.
Players cannot hit the ball or puck above shoulder height.
Players cannot tackle opponents below the waist.
Players cannot cross-check opponents, which is when they hit an opponent with the shaft of their stick across the body.
Players cannot trip or hook opponents.
