Not a copyright violation!
Right-click the image at and save it to your computer. You'll notice that its file name is "420px-Hockey_field_large.png", which is almost identical to the name generated by the Mediawiki software when it made a raster rendering of the image for the image description page, "420px-Hockey_field.svg.png". Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that someone went through all the trouble to vectorize a raster image in a manner identical to the raster image. Usually vectorized copies of images have small differences from the original raster copy.

In short, the image we have is a vector image. The automatically generated rasterization of the image was copied and used on another web site without proper attribution. —Remember the dot (talk) 22:31, 25 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Lucy-Marie, note that the image posted here is in SVG format. The image on that website is a PNG bitmap.   You can get a bitmap from a vector image, but you can't get a SVG image from a PNG.  They took the image from Wikipedia, which they are perfectly entitled to do under the public domain licence I placed the image under.  --Robert Merkel 02:23, 27 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Can this image be metricaterd to fall in line with the rest of the article.--Lucy-marie (talk) 12:34, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * A lot of the lines are incorrectly placed and sized. Like the 5 metre marks on the 23 metre lines and any marks inside the field (apart from circles and the outer dashed circles). As mentioned, please also put the distances in metric as they are the official measurements.Nij90 (talk) 04:34, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

The Corner of the goal key line should be of 5yrds of distance in length and width,the 25 yrd line is cross line of d entering,n the d enter line should be of 5yrd in strikes and 16yrds of goal enteing strike line.
