No. As long as all other rules are still being followed, the only penalty for having fewer than 11 players on the field is the disadvantage of being down a player.

How many players in skating?

At full strength, each team has 6 players on the ice (5 skaters and a goalie). However, when a team commits a penalty, the violating player must leave the ice for a specified amount of time (2 minutes for a minor penalty and 5 minutes for a major penalty). That player sits in the penalty box. There is no limit to how many players a team can have in the penalty box at one time (other than the 20 players they are allowed to dress), but a team can only be a maximum of 2-men down at one time. That means that, if both teams have 2 or men in the box at one time (and they aren't concurrent penalties), there can be as few as 8 players on the ice at one time (3 skaters per side and a goalie for each team as goalies don't serve their own penalties). There can be no less than that.

How many players on the NFL field?

There should be 22 at any one time. Eleven from each team. More specifically, only 11 are "allowed" on the field from each team at a time, but the rules do not state that there must be a minimum number of players from each team. Presumably, if a team were unable to field 11 players due to injuries, for example, they could still play with some number less than 11.
