About this listen
This episode explores the basic rules, structure, and gameplay of both ice hockey and field hockey. In ice hockey, played on a rink with six players per team, the focus is on speed, body contact, and scoring by shooting a puck into the opposing net. The episode explains key rules like offside, icing, penalties, and power plays, along with the role of the goaltender and the importance of line changes and strategy.
In contrast, field hockey is played on turf with eleven players per team and a hard ball. It emphasizes skillful stick handling, positional play, and strategic passing. Scoring is only valid when the ball is struck from within the shooting circle. The episode also covers penalty corners, card-based discipline (green, yellow, red), and the rolling substitution system.
Despite their differences, both forms of hockey require agility, coordination, and tactical intelligence. The episode highlights how hockey in all forms remains a beloved global sport, rooted in tradition but evolving with time.
