True, the game is, simply put, outdoor hockey played indoors. It is using all the same fundamentals, the same sticks, etc.

But indoor hockey can cruelly expose a player’s deficiencies and showcase another’s strengths. The indoor game is much faster and more scoring opportunities are offered. Technical and tactical speeds are emphasized. A bad touch or a slow recovery will almost always result in a loss of possession, and quite often end with a goal scored by the opposition.
