Best Answer

The majority of Ice Hockey around the world is played under the umbrella of three organizations, Hockey Canada, USA Hockey, and the International Ice Hockey Federation, each with their own set of rules.

Hockey Canada and USA Hockey rulebooks are used in most amateur hockey in North America, and the IIHF rulebook is used in both amateur and professional leagues.

 

The National Hockey League has its own rulebook, from which the rulebooks of most North American professional leagues are derived.

United States high school leagues use the National Federation of State High School Associations rulebook, and varsity college hockey is governed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association's rules.

There are many offences in either form of hockey, some of which are similar and others of which are unique. In Field Hockey, common offenses include touching the ball with the feet, body or the back of the stick, playing the ball dangerously (by raising it or otherwise being unsafe around other players) and hacking. In ice hockey, common offenses are hacking, icing, fighting and illegal bodychecking.
