That is tougher. There are rules regarding icing that need clarification and then there are rules regarding how roughly players can run oppenents into the boards and how high their hands can be when they attack opponents with their sticks... it's kind of a poorly-regulated brawl in many instances.rhuthwaite said:

Turf hockey is a variant of field hockey that is played on artificial turf instead of natural grass. It is usually played outdoors, but can also be played indoors on a synthetic surface.
To play turf hockey, you will need a stick, a ball, and appropriate footwear. The stick should be specifically designed for turf hockey and the ball should be made of a hard plastic material. As for footwear, it is recommended to wear turf shoes or cleats with short, rubber studs.
The basic rules of turf hockey are similar to field hockey. The objective of the game is to score goals by hitting the ball into the opponent's goal using your stick. Players are not allowed to use their hands or feet to play the ball, and the ball must stay on the ground at all times. There are also rules regarding fouls, penalties, and player positions.
To improve your skills in turf hockey, it is important to practice regularly and work on your stickhandling, passing, and shooting techniques. You can also watch videos or attend clinics to learn new techniques and strategies. It is also beneficial to play with more experienced players and receive feedback on your performance.
Like any sport, there is always a risk of injury in turf hockey. However, the use of proper equipment, following the rules, and playing on a well-maintained turf field can greatly reduce the risk of injuries. It is important to also warm up and stretch before playing to prevent muscle strains and other injuries.
