Differences between Ice Hockey and Field Hockey


 James Giacin is a former ice hockey player who played for the US National Under-17 Team and the Los Angeles Kings. James Giacin was also an ice hockey coach in St. Louis, Missouri.


Although hockey is a popular sport worldwide, the perception of the sport varies depending on the location. Ice hockey is popular in the United States, Eastern Europe, Canada, and the Scandinavian countries, while field hockey is more popular in warmer regions, such as India and central and southern Europe.


Although field hockey and ice hockey share many similarities, such as the use of sticks to score goals, the two games have many differences. For example, ice hockey teams have six players (a goalie, three forwards, and two defensemen), while field hockey teams have 11 players (a goalie, four midfielders, three forwards, and three defenders).


Further, the game’s structure is significantly different. Ice hockey games are divided into three 20-minute periods. This ensures an effective ice surface, which needs maintenance at least twice per game. Field hockey is divided into two 35-minute halves or four 15-minute quarters.
