In a penalty corner do you have to hit the backboard to score a goal?
No, this is a common misunderstanding of the rules, especially when they are explained by another player who is also unfamiliar.
If the First shot at goal during a penalty corner is a hit (including sweeps) then it must enter the goal at the height of the backboard or lower unless it has been deflected by either an attacking or defending player including the goalkeeper; If the First Shot is a drag flick, scoop, the ball can enter the goal at any height... for second and subsequent shots, and for flicks or scoops, the ball may enter the goal at any height.
Note that hitting the backboard does not mean the ball entered at that height; during its flight, the ball drops, so unless it is a faster shot or hits lower down, it may have actually entered higher than permissible, and this should be watched for (especially when umpiring or defending one).

If your talking about field hockey then I'm your man. Women's hockey developed separately from men's hockey. Women do not seem to have played hockey widely before the modern era. Women's hockey was first played at British Universities and schools, and the first club, Molesey Ladies Hockey Club, was founded in 1887. The first national association was the Irish Ladies Hockey Union in 1894, and though rebuffed by the Hockey Association, women's hockey grew rapidly around the world. This led to the formation of the International Federation of Women's Hockey Associations (IFWHA) in 1927, though this did not include initially many continental European countries where women played as sections of men's associations and were affiliated to the FIH. The IFWHA held conferences every three years, and the tournaments associated with these were the primary IFWHA competitions. These tournaments were non-competitive until 1975.
