Ice Hockey is a game played on an ice rink by two teams of six players on skates.

The object is to drive a puck (a small, hard rubber disk) into the opponents' goal with a hockey stick while avoiding being hit, or checked, by opposing players.

Hockey is a game in which two opposing teams use sticks to move a small object into the opposing goal. The two major types of the sport are Field Hockey and ice hockey. Field hockey is played on a open area, traditionally grass but more modernly an artificial surface, and using a ball. Ice hockey is played on an enclosed ice surface, traditionally an iced-over lake or pond but more modernly an artificial rink, and using a small rubber disc called a puck.

Well, by field hockey I think you mean hockey games that are done on the ground like field hockey, street hockey,ect. It is called ice hockey. *Field hockey and ice hockey are completely different rulebases. As the first answer pretty much describes, it is simply called "field hockey on ice", like it is called "field hockey on grass", "on turf", "on concrete", etc.
