You don't have to wear gloves on both hands but get whacked with a stick on the hand that doesn't have a glove on it and ouch, that's gonna hurt.
you don't have to but it is better to wear them so your hands don't hit by other sticks The two answers above are missing the point. The ball cannot be raised off the ground during indoor hockey and therefore the technique for stopping the ball when it is travelling to a players left, is to turn the stick over (so that the hook is to the floor) and holding the stick in the left hand only, put the left hand onto the ground making a long barrier over which the ball cannot legally be raised. As this needs to be done many times at speed during the course of a game, it is usual to wear a glove on the left hand to protect the knuckles. This technique can be applied to outdoor hockey as well as indoor hockey, Whilst it perfectly legal to wear a glove on both hands , if you ask any decent player, they will tell you that wearing gloves reduces the "feel" of the stick. This is why many gloves are open palmed, so that the feel of the stick can be retained. When hockey is being played correctly it is very unusual for a player to be hit on the hand by another stick, and if this is what is worrying you then you should probably take up another sport.'

Can you wear lacrosse gloves in hockey?
You can use girls lacrosse gloves as field hockey gloves, they are actually great to be used for outdoor field hockey. In indoor field hockey I would not recommend using them though, because they do not provide enough padding. In indoor you have to get low to the point where your hand is almost on the ground, leaving it exposed, also the ball moves much faster so getting hit does hurt more, so you want well padded gloves for indoor. There are indoor field hockey gloves made, normally they are made for the left hand only but you may want to get another one to protect the right hand as well.

Field hockey glove?
Gloves are a piece of equipment to use in hockey, provided they are suitable for the purpose. The two main glove types are either for protection or grip. Gloves worn for grip often cover the whole of the palm and fingers on both hands in order to give the best hold on a stick in wet conditions. A protective glove is usually worn only on the left hand and helps stop a turf from grazing the hand during a sweep or trap, or from being seriously injured (I have seen a man's finger almost severed by a hockey stick, so they are worth considering).

Currently, NYU doesn't play field hockey against Columbia. Both women and men's teams compete at fencing, lacrosse, ice hockey, basketball, swimming, Kendo, Taekwondo, athletics and several other less-popular sports there, but not field hockey. At the current moment, NYU doesn't have a fully fledged field hockey team. However, for many decades in the past, the sport did exist, and for some of the years during those times, both varsity teams faced off at the Coles Center, which was NYU's first modern gymnasium (both indoor and outdoor). Columbia does compete in field hockey at the present.
