You do not strike other players, how ever it is an extremly physical game, there is a alot of physical contact between players, you also have boards, pucks and sticks that add additional physicality to the game.
A hockey enforcer is a player who engages in the most physical contact. He usually protects another player or just sets an example. Enforcers aren't considered dirty players. While they will fight and hit, they generally do so within the rules of the game.
Six players are allowed on the ice at a time. The number of players on a team typically range anywhere from 12-22 players. It depends on how many players the coach wants on his bench and how many players are allowed on the roster by the league. In the NHL, rosters usually have about 20-22 players.
In Hockey, the players are allowed to fight and beat each other ip. Its part of the game. No other sport allows any of that.
In hockey, players are not allowed to use their hands or arms to play the puck, except for goaltenders who can use their hands to catch or deflect the puck. Additionally, players cannot use their feet to kick the puck into the net, although they can use their skates to direct the puck. Body checking and physical play are allowed, but players must avoid using their heads or elbows recklessly. Overall, the primary focus is on using the stick and body (excluding the mentioned parts) to control and play the puck.
More checking is allowed as the players get older. The adults get away with more than the five year olds. But even the adults can't do huge checks like in Ice Hockey. It is just a bit less.
NHL teams are allowed to list twenty two (22) players on their official roster.

I don't think so.. If anything they could maybe reduce the time they fought so fights woudnt be too long, but fighting is one of the things lots of fans love about hockey and without it hockey wouldn't be the same
Field hockey is a whole year sport in most countries; the offseason is usually the summer, when many players play the easier form of summer hockey (rule alterations include not being allowed to raise or hit the ball, playing on a halfsize field, less players, etc.).
