A college Field Hockey game has two 35 minute halves. The halftime is 7 minutes long. This totals one hour and 17 minutes. This will vary a little with time outs and penalty calls.
A Field Hockey game has two halves of 35 minutes (this is often shortened for younger grades and some tournaments) with a halftime of 5 minutes (also often increased to 10 minutes in higher grades and internationals). Time is stopped at certain points in the game - at the umpire's discretion only - for injuries, penalty strokes, personal penalties and disruptions to the game.
Depending on competition rules, the game may be lengthened by a set amount of time in the event of a draw/tie; in international competition this is often a period or two of 7.5 minutes, ending as soon as one team scores. If the score is still tied, the game moves to penalty strokes where 5 players from each team take alternate turns to score a goal from the penalty spot against the goalkeeper. If scores are still tied after the 10 strokes (5 from each team) then the game is set to sudden death - the first team to fall behind in score loses.
Thus, a game normally lasts around 80 minutes. An injury or other timestop can bring this up to 90 minutes. A very badly behaved game can take this further to 95. A game that requires extra time will extend the game by up to 20 minutes, and strokes can add another 10 minutes (more for sudden death). The longest a game might take is then about 120 minutes, or 2 hours from starting whistle to finishing goal.
Unlike other sports, hockey is traditionally played on a "rink" not a "field". This is actually the first rule of the USA hockey rulebook. USA Hockey regulations are 200 feet long, 85-100 feet wide. NHL is strictly 200 by 85. Olympic/International is 197 by 98.4.
An indoor hockey pitch is 18m to 22m wide by 36m to 44m long.

Field Hockey has a long history dating back to nearly 4000years. The modern day game is credited to the public schools in England with Blackheath being the first ever Hockey Club in the world but the modern day game was developed by Teddington Hockey Club who first introduced the striking circle 'D' and also changed the ball from a rubber cube (yes that's right it used to be a cube) to a sphere.
