i don't know the rules
It is a mixture of field hockey's rules and lacrosses rules.
Hockey is very entertaining to people who know the rules. If you don't know the rules, then hockey is hard to understand.
It remains a matter of debate but it is believed that it was invented in the mid 1850's by British soldiers staying in Nova Scotia, Canada. They used a rubber ball initially to play the first ice hockey game with some basic rules. Eventually this same game was played with more formal rules, set by the McGill University students in Montreal, Canada in 1879. What was called the 'Ice Hockey' in mid 1850s was popularly known as 'Modern Ice Hockey' by later 18th century. These formal rules, better known as "McGill Rules", substituted the rubber ball with a puck. Montreal saw the first national hockey organization i.e. Amateur Hockey Association of Canada in the year 1885. Later many amateur clubs and leagues were established in Canada. Ontario was the first to have a league of four teams formed in the same year. And so on, and so on. But until further notice from a caveman, it was the Canadians. Figures.
Hockey's rules were created by it's creator, but over time, we changed to rules to our liking.
Hockey safety rules are the rules put in place to keep players from getting hurt. Some of the rules are to not hit other players with your hockey stick, no tripping, no pushing, and no hitting.

the international rules
Canadian hockey is the same as the NHL.
Depending on the icing rules, icing is when the opposing team fires the puck from their side of the red line all the way down to past the other team's goalline and one: is touched by the non-offending team or two: is automatically blown dead as in most low level hockey. Note: college and other minor league levels are developing semi automatic icing.
