Competition format edit

Format edit

The 2023 Hockey One season followed the same format as previous season. Teams will play a series of home and away matches during the pool stage, which will be followed by a classification round.

During the pool stage, teams play each other once in either a home or a way fixture. The top four ranked teams will qualify for the classification round, playing in two semi-finals with the winners contesting the final and losers the third place match. Like the previous season, the finals will be held over a single weekend at a central location.

Rules edit

In addition to FIH sanctioned rules, Hockey Australia is implementing the following rules for Hockey One:

  • When a field goal or penalty stroke is scored the same athlete will have an automatic one-on-one shootout with the goalkeeper for an extra goal.
  • Outright winner: There will be no drawn games. In the event of a draw, teams will contest a penalty shoot-out to determine a winner.

Point allocation edit

Match points will be distributed as follows:

  • 5 points: win
  • 3 points: shoot-out win
  • 2 points: shoot-out loss
  • 0 points: loss

Participating teams edit

The seven teams competing in the league come from Australia's states and territories, with the Northern Territory being the only team absent.

Head Coach: Roel van Maastright
