JOIN NOWNew indoor rules: What will be the new layout/formation?
G'day guys. I just read the new rules for indoor hockey and I am wondering what peoples thoughts are on the reduction to 5 players. Will the norm become playing with only one forward, or no center, or only one back? It seems this will now make the game more dynamic, teams will have to adapt on the run and change their strategies for pressing and for beating the press. A great center (or three) will become like gold. Cheers

Hi Mick,
I think the normal will be a Diamond, it is what most teams are moving to across the mid field so it wont be too different to what the players know.
this is also done when short handed in Ice hockey and Floorball, so it is not a new concept to play this way.
Setplays are going to be realyl important, if they break down, it could lead to a lot of counter attacking goals.
