As you noted face-offs are different
Field size is different - women's field is bigger
Rules different - no body checking in women's
Equipment is different - women don't wear all the pads that men wear and no helmets
Sticks are different - women's stick has tight netting not made for cradling
Men - 10 players / Women - 12 players
Penalties are different too - women have yellow and red cards like soccer

Great info! Thanks! Go Irish! *
