Field Hockey

There are several penalties available; they usually fall under either team or personal penalties:

  • Free hit: For any minor offense outside the circle, or any serious one between the 23 metre lines.
  • 10 metre march: For misconduct after the award of a penalty by the original offenders, between the 23 metre lines.
  • Reversal: For misconduct by the team given the free hit in the first place - the free hit is then reversed to the other team.
  • Penalty coner: For any offense which would normally receive a free hit, a deliberate offense inside the circle against an attacker who has no opportunity to play the ball, deliberate infringements outside the circle but inside the 23 metre area, and deliberately playing the ball over the backline by a defender.
  • Penalty stroke: For an offense which "prevents the probable scoring of a goal", a deliberate offense against an attacker who had an opportunity to play the ball, and persistently breaking early on a penalty corner.
  • Warning/Caution: Telling the player personally to control their play or behaviour; often given to the captain for not controlling their team or staff.
  • Green card: "Last chance" - the player is formally warned for their actions, and has had their last chance. May also be awarded to a defender who breaks early on a penalty stroke.
  • Yellow card: The player must leave the field for a specified time, until called back on by the umpire; the team must play one short until then. A minimum of 5 minutes, but as long as the umpire deems appropriate. Often for more serious and deliberate offenses, and following a green card for the same offense.
  • Red card: The player must leave the game completely. It is exceedingly rare, and is often awarded only for the most serious of misconduct (assaulting a player or official, usually). The team must play one short for the rest of the game. All tournaments and competitions will have a hearing to discuss the matter and most will give a one or two match suspension.
Ice Hockey
  • Minor (2 minutes): These are called for infractions such as hooking, tripping, high sticking etc.
  • Double Minor (4 minutes): For any two of the above infractions.
  • Major (5 minutes): Usually assessed to the player(s) involved in an on-ice altercation. (fighting)
  • Game Misconduct (10 minutes): For profane or abusive language and or actions toward an official.
  • Match (rest of the game): For deliberately and/or maliciously injuring an opponent.

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?

There are many different rules in hockey and to list and explain them all would just be far to hard to understand and it would also be a total waste of time. My advice to you would be to visit many hockey website or Google the rules of hockey and that shoudl explain them in a much less complicated form than giving you the answer here. If you can't find what you excactly want on the computer try asking around or go to many of the various hockey clubs there are around and the will definatly be able to help you.

There is a penalty stroke in hockey for an intentional foul within the circle or for a foul preventing a probable goal. A penalty stroke can also be awarded for defenders repeatedly breaking the line early at a penalty corner.

Following the award of a penalty stroke:

Before:

  • The umpire may call for a discussion with their co-umpire if there is doubt as to what happened. The call may be changed or reversed if necessary; if the umpire calling the stroke is certain the stroke is fair, then it proceeds.
  • The ball is placed on the penalty spot.
  • All players gather in their teams outside the 23 metre area, towards the side of the field; the noninvolved keeper will often step out of the line of the shot, as courtesy.
  • The player who will defend the stroke prepares themself on the line, including fixing pads and checking stick and position.
  • The player who will take the stroke is named and prepares for the stroke, placing themselves behind the ball within playing distance.
  • The umpires will also position themselves: the controlling umpire will stand behind and to the right of the stroke-taker, just in line with the goal post. The assisting umpire will stand on the backline, at about the 10 metre mark, looking at the goal and goalkeeper.
  • Once both players appear ready, the controlling umpire will blow the whistle to indicate the stroke's beginning.

During:

  • The stroke-taker will then take a single shot, either a push, flick or scoop, and attempt to score a goal.
  • The goalkeeper will attempt to stop that shot.
  • The controlling umpire looks for any infringements on behalf of either player, such as moving early, an illegal shot, an illegal stop, or incorrect positioning.
  • The assisting umpire focuses on whether the goalkeeper/defender moved early, and whether the ball completely crossed the goalline.

After:

  • The controlling umpire will blow the whistle to signal the end of the stroke, as well as the appropriate body signal (a goal if so, and a 16 yard hit if not).
  • The ball is placed where it should be for either.
  • The players arrange themselves as they would.
  • The whistle is blown and both time and play are restarted.
