=Rules =

There is ONE major rule difference between Men's and Women's hockey.

=Men= In Men's hockey body checking is legal.

=Women= In women's hockey if you body check, it is a two minute penalty. You can however, can check the hands.

Two Basic Rules of Hockey:
1. Offsides: Offsides is when a player on the offensive team crosses the blue line into the offensive zone before the puck does. If the play is called offsides, a faceoff occurs outside of the offensive zone.

2. Icing: Icing is when a defensive player clears the puck, but no one touchs it before the puck crosses the opposite goal line. If it is icing the puck is brought all the way back into the zone it started from and there will be a faceoff.
