The new 2016 Rules of the India Hockey League…

The 2016 version of the Hockey India League will present some dramatic changes to the game, for example, every field goal will be valued as two. The differential value for goals scored is perhaps among the most radical innovations introduced in hockey. According to this, a field goal during the HIL would count as two while a penalty corner would continue to be counted as one goal, making field goals twice as valuable. However, penalty strokes would continue to be counted as one except when a stroke is awarded for a deliberate foul during the execution of a penalty corner. (Source: http://www.thehindu.com/).
