They are enforced by Nazis, who use shotguns to shoot people with little bb pellets every time they dom something wrong. Believe me this hurts! that's why hockey is usuallly a fun and clean natured game
Unless the top of the stick goes above your forehead when you're wearing skates, there is no reason to cut it. If it does, however, you may cut it the same way you would a player's stick according to the material of the stick (composite, fiberglass, or wood).
Hope this helped
There are a few minor restrictions on the dimensions of a stick, but the three that are mainly focused on are the width (the whole stick must be able to go through a ring with an internal diameter of 51mm), the length (most players have a stick between 35 and 38 inches long) and the bow (when the stick is played facedown on a flat surface), a prism or rod with a diameter of 25mm must not be able to pass under it at any point). There are various explanations of these regulations available at other questions on WA.
No. Originally "field hockey" was not called that, as at the time of origin there was only one type of hockey with variations, played around the world. Outside of America and Canada field hockey is known by its original and formal name of hockey. It is only after the popular growth of ice hockey and roller hockey in North America that the word "field" was added to distinguish it.
There are several situations in which the ball might be raised, and there are some general statements about what to do in most. Note that this is a long list, but by no means complete or exact. Only experience will help in applying the rules or ideas behind them.
Danger:
From a free hit:
Deliberately raising the ball:
The penalty corner:
The aerial ball/overhead pass:
In field hockey, FIH stands for Federation Internationale de Hockey (International Hockey Federation) and is the ruling body of international hockey.
The Forward otherwise known as a striker is the one who attempts to score goals within a soccer squad. A few famous forwards in the soccer world are Fernando Torres, Samuel Eto'o and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Easily. Almost any player at men's grade (and many in women's grades) can hit the ball hard enough to do so - and there are also many players, especially at international level, who can push or flick the ball that fast - even if the victim is wearing head protection.

Assuming that you know what the situations referred to mean, the signals an umpire should use to indicate a decision or penalty follow. Note: unless otherwise stated, signals are done standing still, facing the centre of the field/back to the nearest outline, and palms open.
Time signals:
General signals:
These signals are used to indicate what the offence was or why the call is given. They should be done after the decision signal if there is any doubt about why the call was made. A vocal (spoken) signal is just as effective as these - both in combination is even better.
1. You can only use the flat side of the stick
2. Don't let the ball hit your feet
3. To score you must be inside the half cicle
4. In indoor the ball cannot leave the floor
5. In indoor you cannot have a backswing
6. If you back is toward another girls face that is called obstruction
7. Dont let your stick go above your waist, try not to let the ball above your waist either
That's all I can think of right now... AND FIELD HOCKEY DOES RULE!
A fibreglass hockey stick is a hockey stick with a layer/s of fibreglass to support the stick and usually layered over wood. A composite stick can have a range of materials e.g. kevlar, carbon fibre, armaid, glassfibre etc. It does not have any wood part. half composite sticks have part synthetic material, part wood.
Overall, fibreglass is just a material used to make a stick composite.
Wood hockey sticks tend to be better as they reduce stick shock on a cold day (where the stick vibrates when hitting the ball), however, composite have a huge amount of power when striking the ball.
Most goals by one team in one regular season game: * 24 - (Pre NHL) Ottawa Silver Seven (vs Dawson City) - 1905 Challenge - 14 of those goals came from Frank McGee * 16 - Montreal Canadiens (vs Quebec Bulldogs) - March 3, 1920 Most goals by both teams in one regular season game: # 21 - Montreal Canadiens vs Toronto St. Pats - January 10, 1920 # 21 - Edmonton Oilers vs Chicago Blackhawks - December 11, 1985 Most goals by one team in one playoff game: * 13 - Edmonton Oilers (vs Los Angeles Kings) - April 9, 1987 Most goals by both teams in one playoff game: * 18 - Los Angeles Kings vs Edmonton Oilers - April 7, 1982
Floor hockey is essentially the same as its ice and street counterparts In floor hockey there are two types of shots that most players use. A snap shot and backhand shot are popular on the floor.
Depending on the type of stick: * A wooden base is carved from a strong timber. It is then smoothed off and painted. * Layers of various types of carbon fibre are laid together in a mould with resin. As the resin dries, more layers are added until it reaches the final size. The two halves are then placed together and more fibre and ersin is added around them to bind them. When it is finished, the outside will be smoothed off and the stick painted and capped. * A wooden beam is carved from timber. Layers of composite material (fibres and resin) are then added to create the shape of the stick. The final product is finished off, painted and capped.
There aren't 12. There is 6 on each team. They consist of RD (right defensman) LD (left defenseman) C (center) LW (left wing) RW (right wing) G (goalie).
hard plastic, some balls have cork and hard plastic covering the cork

No, it is a directly competitive activity: you play against the opponent and what you both do can alter the game for the other, not to mention you will often directly compete for the ball with them.
Score
it can vary a lot, sometimes you need to lay the ball to the winger and then go in the semi circle to wait for a cross
may be to hold to ball deep in their territory
or to dribble and score
but mainly its scoring goals and assisting other players
remember as long as you score or assist someone then you have done your job
chase after every ball you can
Too many to list.
There would be upwards of 50 hockey stick suppliers around the world. Each has several lines (taken to mean between 5 and 10, depending on the size and focus of the company), and each line usually has between 5 and 10 sticks - some with many more. Besides this, there are extras like goalkeeping sticks, of which most companies make two or three (on average) and choices in stick such as length and weight, and for ice hockey the curve as well. Basically, you are looking at ten thousand sticks in total.
