The 2022 Men's Sultana Bran Hockey One was the second season of Hockey Australia's national league, Hockey One. The tournament was held across 7 states and territories of Australia. Competition commenced on 29 September, and culminated with a finals weekend running from 19 to 20 November. ^{[1] [2]}

Unlike the previous edition where the top ranked women's team hosted the grand final, the grand final of the tournament will be held at a neutral venue in Bendigo. ^[3]

Competition format

Format

The 2022 Hockey One season will follow same format as season one. Teams will play a series of home and away matches during the Pool Stage, which will be followed by a Classification Round.

During the pool stage, teams play each other once in either a home or a way fixture. The top four ranked teams will then qualify for the Classification Round, playing in two semi-finals with the winners contesting a grand final. Team 1 will host Team 4, while Team 2 will host Team 3. Of the two victorious teams, the higher ranked team from the pool stage will host the grand final. ^[4]

Rules

In addition to FIH sanctioned rules, Hockey Australia is implementing the following rules for Hockey One:

• When a field goal or penalty stroke is scored the same athlete will have an automatic one-on-one shootout with the goalkeeper for an extra goal.
• Outright winner: There will be no drawn games. In the event of a draw, teams will contest a penalty shoot-out to determine a winner.

Point allocation

Match points will be distributed as follows:

• 5 points: win
• 3 points: shoot-out win
• 2 points: shoot-out loss
• 0 points: loss

Participating teams

The seven teams competing in the league come from Australia's states and territories, with the Northern Territory being the only team absent. ^[5]
