These are almost identical to the rules of classical ice hockey. The biggest difference is the maximum number of players which is limited to fifteen on one team (13 men in the field and 2 goalkeepers). Classical hockey also differs from para hockey by playing time. Para hockey is set for 15 minutes as one third. The compulsory equipment has its specifics as well.
