Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    What must a goalie wear for safety?

    • Gloves

    • Helmet

    • Knee pads

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Goalies in floor hockey are required to wear comprehensive protective gear which includes gloves, a helmet, and knee pads. This equipment protects them from injuries as they are frequently in the line of fire from the puck and may have more physical interactions compared to field players. Safety gear is essential to prevent injuries from high-speed pucks and sticks during game play.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    How many players are on the floor for one team during a game?

    • 4

    • 3

    • 6

    • 7

    Correct Answer
    A. 6
    Explanation
    A standard floor hockey game typically involves six players from each team on the floor at any one time. This includes five outfield players and one goalkeeper. This number allows for comprehensive coverage of the playing area and strategic depth in gameplay, balancing offense and defense effectively.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    What is the primary material of a standard floor hockey stick?

    • Plastic

    • Wood

    • Metal

    • Fiberglass

    Correct Answer
    A. Plastic
    Explanation
    Floor hockey sticks are primarily made of plastic because it provides a balance of durability and safety. Plastic sticks are lightweight, which makes them easier for players to handle and maneuver during games. Additionally, compared to materials like wood or metal, plastic reduces the risk of injuries from accidental hits or falls, making the game safer, especially in educational settings where floor hockey is often played.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    Which of the following is not a player position in floor hockey?

    • Center

    • Defender

    • Winger

    • Charger

    Correct Answer
    A. Charger
    Explanation
    The position of 'charger' does not exist in floor hockey. The typical positions include center, defender, and winger, each with specific roles and responsibilities on the floor. Centers often lead the offensive plays, defenders focus on blocking opposing players and protecting their goal, and wingers support both offense and defense along the sides of the playing area.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What is the maximum height for a stick to be swung?

    • Waist level

    • Shoulder level

    • Knee level

    • No limit

    Correct Answer
    A. Waist level
    Explanation
    The rule that sticks cannot be swung higher than waist level is in place to ensure safety. Swinging a stick at a high level could lead to accidental injuries if the stick or the puck makes contact with another player. Limiting the height of stick swings helps reduce the risk of high-impact collisions and injuries to the upper body and face.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    In which area is a player not allowed to score from?

    • Behind the goal line

    • Center circle

    • Anywhere on opponent’s half

    • Goalkeeper’s crease

    Correct Answer
    A. Goalkeeper’s crease
    Explanation
    Players are not allowed to score from behind the goal line in floor hockey. This rule prevents players from taking advantage of angles that would be unfairly difficult for goalkeepers to defend against, maintaining fairness in scoring opportunities and emphasizing skillful play and positioning in front of the goal.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is a common penalty in floor hockey?

    • Tripping

    • Holding the puck

    • Running

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    Common penalties in floor hockey include tripping, holding the puck, and running. Tripping involves obstructing another player's movement potentially causing them to fall, while holding the puck refers to a player using their hands to control the puck instead of their stick. Running, or moving too quickly on foot, is penalized to keep the game safe and consistent with its non-contact nature. These rules emphasize safety and sportsmanship.

    • 3

    • 4

    • 5

    • 6

    Correct Answer
    A. 5
    Explanation
    The minimum number of players needed to start a floor hockey game is typically five per team. This allows the game to be played with sufficient coverage of the playing area and enough complexity in team strategy while ensuring there are enough players to maintain a competitive and orderly game flow.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    What is not allowed in floor hockey?

    • Slap shots

    • High sticking

    • Goalkeeper charging

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. High sticking
    Explanation
    High sticking, where the stick is raised above the shoulder, is not allowed in floor hockey due to safety concerns. This rule helps prevent injuries caused by sticks accidentally hitting players’ faces or bodies during the fast-paced action. While slap shots and goalkeeper charging are permitted within specific rules, high sticking is universally prohibited to maintain a safer playing environment.
