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.
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.

Ice hockey rules are usually USA Hockey for amateur games - the pros usually have a rulebook specific to the league they officiate.

Ice hockey is played on ice, while field hockey is played on a grass surface, the rules in field hockey are kinder than ice hockey, and the sticks vary between versions.
