I obviously know that floor hockey is played on a floor and field hockey is played on a field…. I meant in the actual game.

floor hockey uses sticks that are verymuch like ice hockey sticks. Field hockey is a sport with a curved stick, and is played more aggressively then floor hockey. Also, in floor hockey I’m pretty sure you wear more pads, am i right? In fieldhockey you wear goggles and shin guards. Field hockey is played indoor and outdoor, and ages 8 and up have to have goalies. Hope this answers your quetion!!!

Floor hockey is essentially ice hockey on a gym floor, with a soft non-bouncing ball and you’re in shoes.
I don’t know much about field hockey except my mom played it back in the 50s .. should I use some of my rollover minutes to phone her and get some insight ??

You play on a floor, you play on a field.

It is what it says – floor or field.
Field hockey is a lot faster, and certainly more skillful than floor/ice. They most certainly do have goalies in field hockey!!

floor hockey is played obviously on a floor, and with totally different sticks than field hockey…they are longer, and the toe or head is much longer and you can use either side of it. in field hockey, the toe is short and one side is round, and the stick is shorter. i’m pretty sure floor hockey is played with less than 11 players.
